Illustration of the jet schematic, the first panel including the essential parameters of our model, and the resulting light curve when the viewing angle θ_obs is changing, while the reconnection layer angle θ′ and the magnetic field strength B remain constant. Increasing θ_obs results in decreasing fluxes with the Doppler boosting having less of an effect, and increasing the observed time of the reconnection event.
