Anomalous diffusion in generalised Ornstein
... The events are very diverse. Common features are: quick rise time (1-10 years), relatively slow decay (10-100 years), increase in magnitude is very large (2-6 orders). There is no apparent change preceding the outburst. Surveys suggest that most young stars experience a few outbursts. Most published ...
