Particularly, the amplitude of long-term IR variation is over one order of magnitude and the IR variability timescale is constrained as short as a few hours in the source frame. The IR and $\\gamma$-ray light curves are found to be rather similar. This is the first time to identify a $\\gamma-$ray blazar at redshift $z\\geq 3$ with multi-wavelength flux variations (flares). Broadband spectral energy distributions at different flux states are constructed and theoretically described. The $\\gamma-$ray flares from some blazars as distant as redshift $\\sim$ 5 are expected to be detectable for {\\it Fermi}-LAT.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-02-25T03:47:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "ray blazar", "multi-wavelength variability", "broadband spectral energy distributions", "high redshift blazar cgrabs", "multi-wavelength flux variations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
