Abstract

EGRET observation of PKS 0528 + 134 during the 1993 March flare in gamma-rays is presented here. During the flare gamma-rays were detected at a level approximately three times greater than the observed intensity in earlier observations. Spectra of the source during the flare, as well as during the nonflaring state are presented. The flux history of PKS 0528 + 134 as observed from the start of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) mission up to the end of Phase 3 (1993 October) is given. Multiwavelength observations of PKS 0528 + 134 during the flare are also presented. A detailed relativistic SSC jet model agrees well with the 1993 March Multiwavelength spectrum; the data, however, are insufficient to discriminate between this and other emission models.
