Flaring Activity from 0836+710 (4C +71.07): What Can We Learn With Limited Multiwavelength Coverage?
Abstract
After a long period of quiescence in γ-rays, blazar 0836+710 (4C +71.07) flared in the Spring of 2011. We found only limited multiwavelength coverage of the source. An indication of correlated optical / γ-ray variability is not surprising for a Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar (FSRQ) like this one. Radio observations at high frequencies, however, had seen a flare in 2010, well offset from possible γ-ray activity. The 2011 γ-ray activity comes during a period of rising radio emission, a pattern that has been seen since the EGRET era.
