Gamma-ray emission study and multi-wavelength modeling of the FSRQ 3C 454.3

This thesis treats the findings and current theories of the active galactic nuclei 3454.3. It mainly aims to describe the behavior of the specific source in the gamma-ray energy band as recorded by the Fermi-LAT satellite. Using NASA’s computational tools and all recorded data the variability of the source was assessed. As the received flux from the source varies substantially over time several periods of time for which the flux differs considerably were analysed. Spectral analysis for the various time-frames was performed in order to determine how we best can describe the results from each period. The Fermi-LAT results were then examined in the wider context of multi-wavelength astronomy. Finally, data retrieved at all wavelengths were modeled and compared in accordance with currently held theories.
