I submitted this flat-spectrum radio quasar because of its recent activity in the GeV gamma-ray band. The source is locate at a redshift of z=0.996 and has been showing significantly increased activity since November 2023 (see below for the lightcurve derived from Fermi-LAT observations using the FLaapLUC tool). This increase was also caught by ground-based very-high-energy gamma-ray instruments like CTA/LST (cf. Astronomer’s Telegram #16381).
Monitoring over the next weeks (at least until the gamma-ray outburst is over) would be very helpful.
