چکیده
ABSTRACT Flaring episodes in blazars represent one of the most violent processes observed extra-galactic objects. Studies such events shed light on energetics physical occurring innermost regions blazars, which cannot otherwise be resolved by any current instruments. In this work, we present some largest and rapid flares captured optical band 3C 279, OJ 49, S4 0954+658, TXS 1156+295, PG 1553+113. The source flux was to increase nearly ten times within a time-scale few weeks. We applied several methods time series analysis symmetry analysis. Moreover, also performed searches for periodicity curves 49 1553+113 using Lomb–Scargle method found plausible indications quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs). particular, 33- 22-day periods i.e. 3:2 ratio, are intriguing. These might originate from magnetohydrodynamical instabilities near base jets, triggered modulated magnetic field accretion disc. qualitative treatment as possible explanation large amplitude changes both source-intrinsic source-extrinsic scenarios.

On the Origin of Rapid Flares in TeV Blazars
The rapid variability of the VHE emission reported for some TeV blazars implies Doppler factors well in excess of those inferred from superluminal motions and unification schemes. We propose that those extreme flares may result from radiative deceleration of blobs on scales where local dissipation occurs. The minimum jet power estimated from the resolved synchrotron emission on VLBI scales appe...
متن کاملExternal Compton Radiation from Rapid Nonthermal Flares in Blazars
In this paper we extend our approach to modeling multifrequency emission variability from blazars to include external-radiation Compton (ERC) emission and electron energy losses from inverse Compton scattering of seed photons originating outside the jet. We consider seed-photon emission from a dusty molecular torus and the broad line region (BLR) surrounding the central engine. We establish con...
متن کاملX-ray spectral variability of TeV blazars during rapid flares
The spectral energy distribution (SED) of TeV blazars peaks both at keV and TeV energies. The X-ray emission is generally believed to originate in the synchrotron emission from relativistic electrons (and positrons) in the jet of these sources, while the origin of the gamma-ray emission is still being debated. We report results from a systematic study of X-ray spectral variability of Mrk 421 an...
متن کاملGamma-ray Flares and Vlbi Outbursts of Blazars
A model is developed for the time dependent electromagnetic radio to gamma-ray emission of active galactic nuclei, specifically, the blazars, based on the acceleration and creation of leptons at a propagating discontinuity or front of a self-collimated Poynting flux jet. The front corresponds to a discrete relativistic jet component as observed with very-long-baseline-interferometry (VLBI). Equ...
متن کاملThe Synchrotron Peak Shift during High-Energy Flares of Blazars
A prediction for the energy shift of the synchrotron spectrum of flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) during high-energy flares is presented. If the γ-ray emission of FSRQs is produced by Comptonization of external radiation, then the peak of the synchrotron spectrum is predicted to move to lower energies in the flare state. This is opposite to the well-known broadband spectral behavior of high-...
