Rapid Variability and Broadband Spectral Modeling in the Flaring Activity of BL Lacertae

Xin Chang, Dingrong Xiong, Chenxu Liu +17

We report a multi-wavelength study of two flaring episodes of the blazar BL Lacertae during MJD 60500-60800 (9 July 2024 - 5 May 2025). The source reached a daily-averaged -ray…
