Illustration of the jet schematic and the resulting light curve when the magnetic field strength B is changing, while the viewing angle θobs and the reconnection layer angle θ′ remain constant (at 0° and 70°, respectively). In our model, in order to maintain a constant jet power Pj, we scale the length of the layer inversely with the increasing B. This results in decreasing the observed time of the reconnection event with increasing B. Higher B also results in a decreased contribution of the higher energy, inverse-Compton (IC) or synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) component, thus also decreasing the fluxes. Jet schematic adapted from Christie et al. (2019).
