Broadband Variability Analysis of FSRQ PKS\,0402-362 with Indications of Quasi-Periodic Modulation
Zeeshan Nazir, Sikandar Akbar, Zahir Shah +2
We present a comprehensive temporal and spectral study of the flat-spectrum radio quasar PKS~0402362 using \textit{Fermi}-LAT/Swift-XRT/UVOT observations spanning from MJD 54686…
Indication for Dual Periodic Signatures in PKS 0805-07 from Multi-technique Time Series Analysis
Sikandar Akbar, Zahir Shah, Ranjeev Misra +2
We report the identification of two statistically significant quasi-periodic oscillations in the weekly binned -ray light curve of the flat-spectrum radio quasar PKS 080507,…
Comprehensive Variability Analysis of Blazars Using Fermi Light Curves Across Multiple Timescales
Zahir Shah, Athar A. Dar, Sikandar Akbar +8
In this study, we conducted a systematic analysis of long-term Fermi-LAT γ-ray data for a sample of blazars, including FSRQs, BL\,Lacs, and BCUs, to investigate their -ray varia…
Statistical Insights into Flux and Photon Index Distributions of VHE FSRQs from Fermi-LAT Observations
Zahoor Malik, Sikandar Akbar, Zahir Shah +8
This study examines the flux and photon index distributions of 11 Very High Energy (VHE) Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs) using over 16 years of Fermi-LAT -ray data. The dist…
Probing Spectral Evolution and Intrinsic Variability of Mkn\,421: A Multi-Epoch AstroSat Study of X-ray Spectra
Sikandar Akbar, Zahir Shah, Ranjeev Misra +2
Our study presents a time-resolved X-ray spectral analysis of Mkn 421, using AstroSat observations taken during different epochs between 2016 and 2019. The variability of the sourc…
