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

“…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. We demonstrate that QPO arising from the non-ballistic helical jet motion driven by the orbital motion in a supermassive binary black hole is a plausible physical explanation. …”
