What is Multi-frequency Variability Study of Flat-Spectrum Radio Quasar PKS 0346-27 about?

We have presented a multiwavelength temporal and spectral study of the Blazar PKS 0346-27 for the period 2019 January-2021 December (MJD 58484-59575) using data from Fermi-LAT (gamma-rays), Swift-XRT (X-rays) and Swift-UVOT (ultra-violet and optical). We identified multiple flaring episodes by analyzing the gamma-ray light curve generated from the Fermi-LAT data over a two-year period. The light curves of these individual gamma-ray flares with one-day binning were then modeled using a sum-of-exponentials fit. We found the minimum variability times for the gamma-ray light curve to be 1.34 +\- 0.3 days and a range of 0.1-3.2 days for the Swift wavelengths suggesting the compactness of the source. The broadband emission mechanism was studied by modeling the simultaneous multi-waveband Spectral Energy Distributions (SED) using the one-zone leptonic emission mechanism. We found that the optical-UV and X-ray data can be explained by the synchrotron and Synchrotron Self-Compton (SSC) emissions. However, the disk component of the External Compton radiation is dominant at higher energies with contributions from the EC broad line region component and SSC. Further, we performed a power spectr
