Scientific paper

The investigators request a 130 ks `stare' of 3C 111 in order to measure the high-frequency end of the power spectral density (PSD) of the X-ray flux variations. Combined with long-term monitoring with RXTE that is sampling the intermediate and low frequencies, the data will define the break in the PSD. This will add an FR II radio galaxy to the relationship between break frequency, black-hole mass, and accretion rate of both AGNs and XRBs. The long-term light curves display dips in X-ray flux that precede the appearance of superluminal knots in the radio jet. The lag between the start of an X-ray event and the first appearance of a knot in the jet `core' will determine the length scale of the jet, which we can relate to the black hole's gravitational radius.
