Abstract
The data from the last 60 years on the programs of long-term multi-frequency monitoring of active galactic nucleus (AGN) 3C 273 were analyzed. A model is proposed for finding the parameters of close binary systems (CBSs) from supermassive black holes (SMBHs), including a harmonic analysis of observational data series obtained in the optical and radio ranges. The purpose of this research was to show that in the absence of optical information on AGNs, only radio data can be used and the necessary information on the physical objects can be obtained. Regarding the example of the blazar 3C 273, the following parameters were obtained: the masses of the companions; their orbital characteristics, such as the speeds of movement in orbits; the reserves of the kinetic energy of the system; and others. It was found that AGN 3C 273 can be a very massive binary system at the stage of evolution close to merging. Based on the obtained parameters, the characteristics of the gravitational waves (GWs) of this system, its lifetime before the merger, and the possible observation of 3C 273 using gravitational wave detectors were considered.
