Fermi-LAT and Swift observations of flaring activity from the FSRQ PKS 0346-27
Abstract
On November 24, 2021, the Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of the two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, observed increased gamma-ray activity from a source positionally consistent with the flat-spectrum radio quasar PKS 0346-27, also known as 4FGL J0348.5-2749 (The Fermi-LAT collaboration 2020, ApJS, 247, 33), with coordinates R.A. = 03h 48m 38s, Dec. = -27d 49' 14'' (J2000; Beasley et al. 2002 ApJS, 141, 13), and a reported redshift of z=0.991 (White et al. 1988 ApJ, 327, 561).
