Multiwavelength Variability Analysis of the Blazar PKS 0727-11: An ~ 168 day Quasiperiodic Oscillation in the γ-Ray by Yuncai Shen, Tingfeng Yi, Vinit Dhiman, Lisheng Mao, Liang Dong

“…It is the first time that periodic variations have been detected in this source, and further supported by other methods: weighted wavelet z -transform, phase dispersion minimization, REDFIT, autoregressive integrated moving average model, and structure function analysis. Cross-correlation analysis shows that there is a strong correlation between multiband light variations, indicating that γ -ray and radio flares may originate from the same disturbance, and the distance between the emission regions of γ -ray and radio flares is calculated based on the time lag. …”
