Issue Date: | 2019 | Journal: | ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS | Number: | 621 | First Page: | A82 | Abstract: | Context. The flat-spectrum radio quasar 4C +71.07 is a high-redshift (z = 2.172), γ-loud blazar whose optical emission is dominated by thermal radiation from the accretion disc. <BR /> Aims: 4C +71.07 has been detected in outburst twice by the AGILE γ-ray satellite during the period from the end of October to mid-November 2015, when it reached a γ-ray flux of the order of F(E > 100 MeV)=(1.2 ± 0.3)×10<SUP>-6</SUP> photons cm<SUP>-2</SUP> s<SUP>-1</SUP> and F(E > 100 MeV)=(3.1 ± 0.6)×10<SUP>-6</SUP> photons cm<SUP>-2</SUP> s<SUP>-1</SUP>, respectively, allowing us to investigate the properties of the jet and the emission region. <BR /> Methods: We investigated its spectral energy distribution by means of almost-simultaneous observations covering the cm, mm, near-infrared, optical, ultraviolet, X-ray, and γ-ray energy bands obtained by the GASP-WEBT Consortium and the Swift, AGILE, and Fermi satellites. <BR /> Results: The spectral energy distribution of the second γ-ray flare (whose energy coverage is more dense) can be modelled by means of a one-zone leptonic model, yielding a total jet power of about 4 × 10<SUP>47</SUP> erg s<SUP>-1</SUP>. <BR /> Conclusions: During the most prominent γ-ray flaring period our model is consistent with a dissipation region within the broad-line region. Moreover, this class of high-redshift, flat-spectrum radio quasars with high-mass black holes might be good targets for future γ-ray satellites such as e-ASTROGAM. <P />Partly based on data taken and assembled by the WEBT collaboration and stored in the WEBT archive at the Osservatorio Astrofisico di Torino - INAF (<A href="http://www.oato.inaf.it/blazars/webt">http://www.oato.inaf.it/blazars/webt</A>). | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/28803 | URL: | https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/abs/2019/01/aa32532-17/aa32532-17.html | ISSN: | 0004-6361 | DOI: | 10.1051/0004-6361/201732532 | Bibcode ADS: | 2019A&A...621A..82V | Fulltext: | open |
