Estimates based on 17 years of Fermi LAT data indicate COSI may detect MeV polarization in a small number of blazar flares, with flat-spectrum radio quasars as the top targets.

abstract
I have created, for public use, a Python code allowing the simulation of light curves with any given power spectral density and any probability density function, following the algorithm described in Emmanoulopoulos et al. 2013. The simulated products have exactly the same variability and statistical properties as the observed light curves. The code and its documentation are available at: https://github.com/samconnolly/DELightcurveSimulation Note that a Mathematica code of the algorithm is given in Emmanoulopoulos et al. [arXiv:1305.0304]

Detectability of Polarized Gamma-ray Emission from Blazar Flares with COSI
Estimates based on 17 years of Fermi LAT data indicate COSI may detect MeV polarization in a small number of blazar flares, with flat-spectrum radio quasars as the top targets.
