The 2-day bin gamma-ray light curve in the 2014–2017 active state displays 14 peak structures with a maximum integral flux ( E > 100 MeV) of (2 . 5 ± 0 . 2) × 10 −6 ph cm −2 s −1 at MJD 57579.1, which is approximately 61 times higher than the base flux of (4 . 1 ± 0 . 3) × 10 −8 ph cm −2 s −1 , calculated by averaging the flux points when the source was in quiescent state. The shortest γ -ray variability of 0.66 ± 0.08 days is observed for the source. The correlation study between γ -ray spectral index and flux suggests that the source deviates from the usual trend of harder when brighter feature shown by blazars. To understand the likely physical scenario responsible for the flux variation, we performed a detailed broad-band spectral analysis of the source by selecting different flux states from the multiwavelength light curve. A single zone leptonic model was able to reproduce the broad-band spectral energy distribution (SED) of each state. The parameters of the model in each flux state are determined using a χ 2 fit. We observed that the synchrotron, synchrotron-self-Compton (SSC), and External-Compton (EC) processes produce the broad-band SED under varied flux states. The adjoining contribution of the seed photons from the broad-line region (BLR) and the IR torus for the EC process are required to provide adequate fits to the GeV spectrum in all the chosen states. |
