Gamma-ray and optical oscillations in PKS 0537-441.

SANDRINELLI A., COVINO S. and TREVES A.

Abstract (from CDS):

We have considered the Fermi γ-ray light curve of the blazar PKS 0537-441 during a high state extending from 2008 August 10 to 2011 August 27. The periodogram exhibits a peak at T ∼ 280 days, with a significance of ∼99.7%. A peak of similar relevance at 12/T is found in the optical light curves. Considering the entire duration of the Fermi light curve 2008-2015, no significant peak is revealed, while the optical one remains meaningful. Comparing with recent observations of PKS 2155-304 and PG 1553+113 it seems that month-year oscillations can characterize some blazars. Month-scale oscillations can also show up only during phases of enhanced or bursting emission, such as in the case of PKS 0537-441.
