The wavelength range of our data set extends from radio to gamma-rays. We found that the optical emission in this source is dominated by the accretion disk during the entire time-frame of study. We additionally find that in contrast with the observed behaviour in other blazars, 3C 273 does not show a correlation between the gamma-ray spectral index and the gamma-ray luminosity. Finally, we identified an anti-correlation between the 15 GHz and V-band light curves for the time-range $JD_{245} = 4860 - 5760$, which we speculate is the consequence of the inner part of the accretion disk falling into the black hole, followed by the ejection of a component into the jet.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-07-06T22:47:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "blazar 3c", "multiwavelength analysis", "flat spectrum radio quasar 3c", "accretion disk", "variability" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
