Abstract (from CDS):

The Owens Valley Radio Observatory 40-m telescope has been monitoring the 15-GHz radio flux density of over 1200 blazars since 2008. The 15-GHz light curve of the flat spectrum radio quasar J1359+4011 shows a strong and persistent quasi-periodic oscillation. The time-scale of the oscillation varies between 120 and 150d over an ∼ 4 year time span. We interpret this as the active galactic nucleus mass-scaled analogue of low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations from Galactic microquasars or as evidence of modulation of the accretion flow by thermal instabilities in the `inner' accretion disc.
