Scientific paper

We present an analysis of the time-variable continuum spectrum of the blazar 3C 279 based on an extensive quasi-simultaneous multi-wavelength data set. The data have been compiled from observations with Fermi, RXTE, the VLBA, and various ground-based optical telescopes starting in August 2008. We form the dynamic spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 3C 279 and analyze their evolution over time. We use a time-dependent radiation transfer model in the internal shock scenario to shed light on the interplay between the synchrotron and inverse Compton radiation processes responsible for producing the resultant SEDs.
This research was supported in part by NASA through Fermi grants NNX08AV65G and NNX08AV61G and ADP grant NNX08AJ64G, and by NSF grant AST-0907893.
