OVV quasar
An optically violent variable quasar (often abbreviated as OVV quasar) is a type of highly variable quasar. It is a subtype of blazar that consists of a few rare, bright radio galaxies, whose visible light output can change by 50% in a day.[2] OVV quasars have essentially become unified with highly polarized quasars (HPQ), core-dominated quasars (CDQ), and flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQ).[3] Different terms are used but the term FSRQ is gaining popularity effectively making the other terms archaic.
At visible wavelengths, they are similar in appearance to
emission lines
