英文摘要

Long-term gamma-ray variability of a non-blazar Active Galactic Nucleus PKS 0521-36 is investigated by using Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) pass 8 data covering from 2008 August to 2021 March. The results show that the histogram of the gamma-ray fluxes follows a log-normal distribution. Interestingly, in the analysis of similar to 5.8 yr (from MJD 56317-58447) LAT data between two outbursts (occurring during 2012 October and 2019 May respectively), a quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) with a period of similar to 1.1 yr (similar to 5 sigma of significance) is found in the Lomb-Scargle Periodogram (LSP), the Weighted Wavelet Z-transform, and the REDFIT results. This quasiperiodic signal also appears in the results of Gaussian process modeling the light curve. Therefore, the robustness of the QPO is examined by four different methods. This is the first gamma-ray QPO found in a mildly beamed jet. Our results imply that the gamma-ray outbursts play an important role in the formation of the gamma-ray QPO.
