A 34.5 day quasi-periodic oscillation in γ-ray emission from the blazar PKS 2247–131

A 34.5 day quasi-periodic oscillation in γ-ray emission from the blazar PKS 2247–131

PKS 2247–131 is an active galaxy that has been emitting gamma-ray flares since October 2016. Here, the authors used data obtained with the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope to find that PKS 2247–131 presents a relatively short, month-like flux oscillation at gamma-ray energies of 0.1–300 GeV.
