Broadband Spectro-temporal Study on Blazar TXS 1700+685

Abstract

We attempt to present a multiwavelength variability and correlation study as well as detailed multi-waveband spectral characteristics of the May 2021 $\gamma$-ray flare of the blazar source TXS 1700+685. The multi-wavelength observation from \textit{Fermi}-LAT, \textit{Swift}-XRT/UVOT as well as radio archival data are used for our spectro-temporal investigation. We estimate the variability time-scale of the source from the flux doubling time in different flaring regions detected in \textit{Fermi}-LAT observation and the shortest variability time is used to put a constraint on the minimum Doppler factor and on the size of the emission region. We have detected a statistically significant quasi-periodic oscillation feature (QPO) at $\sim$ 17 days. The broad-band emission is satisfactorily represented during its flaring state with a leptonic synchrotron and inverse Compton component. From the broadband spectral modeling, we observe the external Comptonization of the seed photons originating in the broad line region to be dominant compared to the dusty torus. This is further supported by the fact that the emission region is also found to be residing within the BLR. The equipartition value implies the energy density of the magnetic field in the jet comoving frame is weak, and that is also reflected in the magnetic field and low power corresponding to the magnetic field component of the jet. In order to produce the high energy hump, we need the injection of a large population of high energy electrons and/or the presence of strong magnetic field; and we observe the later component to be sub-dominant in our case. The flat rising and steep falling profile in the $\gamma$-ray SED as well as the break or spectral curvature at $\sim$ 1 GeV are in commensuration with the flat-spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) nature of the source.
