Multi-wavelength follow-up of a large flare of PKS0346-27
Abstract
A large Gamma-ray flare of the FSRQ PKS0346-27 was detected by Fermi-LAT in February 2018. This enhanced activity signaled the first awakening of the blazar since the satellite is operational. Follow-up observations with REM and Swift reported the source at very high flux level also in the optical and X-rays bands. We found that the Gamma-ray bright state is characterized by a hardening of the Gamma-ray spectrum. Both the X-ray and the optical-NIR emissions look correlated to the Gamma-ray one during the flares. The optical emission during the flares varies on a daily time scale. The SED of PKS0346-27 has a Synchrotron Peak around 1.0E13 Hz, typical for a FSRQ.
