Scientific paper

We report on the discovery of an optical outburst associated with PKS 2023-07 by the Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey (CRTS). Recently, Gasparrini et al. ATel#2175 noted the Fermi LAT detection of a GeV flare from blazar PKS 2023-07. On Aug 29.17 UT CRTS automatically detected and alerted that this object was undergoing a significant optical outburst with V~15.2.

Past photometry dating back to April 2005 suggests that this blazar is highly variable often showing wild variations in brightness over relatively short periods, and is in that sense unlike most blazars.
