The near infrared emission (NIR) of radio quiet active galactic nuclei is commonly attributed to dust, absorbing and re-emitting some of the nuclear UV radiation. The dust can survive only at distances larger than a few light months, and any rapid variation of the nuclear radiation, on timescales of a day or less, will be completely smeared out.
