Exploring the Transitional Parameter Space of Blazars using Gamma-ray and X-ray Population Diagnostics

Zahoor Malik, Sikandar Akbar, Zahir Shah +1

We investigate the -ray and X-ray population properties of changing-look blazars (CLBs) using sources from the Fourth \textit{Fermi} LAT Source Catalog Data Release 4 (4FGL-DR4)…

Indication of gamma-Ray Quasi-periodicity in GB6 J1037+5711 from Multi-technique Timing Analysis

Zahoor Malik, Sikandar Akbar, Zahir Shah +1

We report the indication of a long-term quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in the -ray emission of the BL Lac object 4FGL J1037.7+5711 (GB6 J1037+5711) using more than 17 years of…

Modelling the Time-variable Broadband Emission and Correlation Study of FSRQ S5 1044+71

Sajad Ahanger, Shah Zahir, Sunder Sahayanathan +3

We present a detailed temporal and spectral analysis of the blazar S5\,1044+71 using multi-wavelength data obtained from the \emph{Fermi}-LAT and Swift-XRT/UVOT telescopes. Applyin…

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…

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…

Understanding the Very High Energy γ-ray excess in nearby blazars using leptonic model

Aaqib Manzoor, Sunder Sahayanathan, Zahir Shah +3

The availability of simultaneous X-ray and Very High Energy (VHE) observations of blazars helps to identify the plausible radiative contributors to the VHE emission. Under leptonic…

Very High Energy Flat Spectral Radio Quasar Candidates

Zahoor Malik, Sunder Sahayanathan, Zahir Shah +2

The attenuation of very high energy (VHE) photons by the extragalactic background light (EBL) prevents the observation of high redshift flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs). However…
