Insights into the spectral behavior of TXS 0506+056.

Abstract

Neutrino detections identified with multiwavelength blazar spectra represent the first $\g$-ray-neutrino multimessenger signals. The blazar, TXS 0506+056 is also unusual in its spectral expressions over time and there are a number of models in the literature which have been proposed. In this work, we model the TXS 0506+056 data during two epochs of neutrino co-observation using a range of Fokker-Planck derived solutions, and simulate the expected response of the proposed AMEGO-X mission for a set of physically plausible scenarios.
