On the origin of multifrequency temporal and spectral variability in Ton 599
In this work, we studied the broadband temporal and spectral properties ofthe flat-spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) Ton 599. We collected the long-term datafrom Jan 2019 to August 2024 when the source was in a long flaring episode. Weused the Bayesian block methodology to identify the various flux states,including three flares. The broadband fractional variability is estimatedduring two flaring states. The Fvar variation with respect to frequency shows anearly double hump structure similar to broadband SED. The Power spectraldensity (PSD) shows a pink-noise kind of stochastic variability in the lightcurve and we do not see any break in the power spectrum, suggesting a muchlonger characteristic time scale is involved in gamma-ray variability. The fluxdistribution is well-fitted with a double log-normal flux distribution,suggesting the variability of non-linear in nature. The gamma-ray, optical, andX-ray emissions were found to be highly correlated with a zero time lag,suggesting a co-spatial origin of their emissions. We used the one-zoneleptonic model to reproduce the broad-band spectrum in the energy range from IRto very high-energy gamma-ray. The increase in the magnetic field and theDoppler factor were found to be the main cause for high flux states. TheXMM-Newton spectra taken during one of the flaring durations exhibit asignature of thermal black body emission from the accretion disk, suggesting apossible disk-jet coupling. This has also been indicated by the gamma-ray fluxdistribution, which shows the distribution as non-linear in nature, which ismostly seen in galactic X-ray binaries or AGN where the accretion diskdominates the emission.
