Abstract:We report on temporal and spectral study of a flat spectrum radio quasar, PKS B1222+216, in flare state to get insight into acceleration and emission mechanisms inside the jet. This is one of the brightest and highly active blazar in the MeV-GeV regime. Long term multi-waveband light curves of this object showed a flaring activity in 2014 with two distinct flares. Work presented here includes the study of flux-index variation, flare fitting, hardness ratio and spectral modelling of both X-ray and 𝛾−ray data. … Show more
