VHE gamma-ray detection of FSRQ QSO B1420+326 and modeling of its enhanced broadband state in 2020

Abstract: Context. QSO B1420+326 is a blazar classified as a flat-spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ). At the beginning of the year 2020, it was found to be in an enhanced flux state and an extensive multiwavelength campaign allowed us to trace the evolution of the flare. Aims. We search for very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from QSO B1420+326 during this flaring state. We aim to characterize and model the broadband emission of the source over different phases of the flare. Methods. The source was observed with a numbe… Show more

“…The data were analyzed using the MAGIC Analysis and Reconstruction Software, MARS [46]. A dedicated low-energy procedure with a special signal extraction and image cleaning, the so-called MaTaJu method, was applied (see [47] and references therein). Further processing of the data, including the image parameterization, the direction and energy reconstruction and gammahadron separation, were applied following the standard MARS analysis chain.…”

“…This makes them ideal candidates for follow-up observations at VHE following high flux states at lower energy bands. In total, nine FSRQs which have been detected in the VHE energy range so far: 3C 279 [13], 4C +21.35 [4], PKS 1510-089 [16], PKS 1441+25 [2], S30218+35 [3], TON 0599 [20], PKS 0736+017 [17], B2 1420+32 [19] and PKS 0346-27 [27] In this contribution, we present the VHE -ray observation, their data analysis and the corresponding results of the nine FSRQs, namely TXS 0025+197, B2 0234+28, AO 0235+146, 4C55.17, OP 313, CTA 102, B2 2234+28A, TXS 2241+406 and 3C 454.3. We used the data collected by the MAGIC [5], Fermi-LAT [7] data simultaneous to the MAGIC observations and optical data from the KVA [25].…”
