The presence of multifractality in a time series shows different correlations for different time scales as well as intermittent behaviour that cannot be captured by a single scaling exponent. The identification of a multifractal nature allows for a characterization of the dynamics and of the intermittency of the fluctuations in non-linear and complex systems. In this study, we search for a possible multifractal structure (multifractality signature) of the flux variability in the quasar 3C 273 time series for all electromagnetic wavebands at different observation points, and the origins for the observed multifractality. This study is intended to highlight how the scaling behaves across the different bands of the selected candidate which can be used as an additional new technique to group quasars based on the fractal signature observed in their time series and determine whether quasars are non-linear physical systems or not. The Multifractal Detrended Moving Average algorithm (MFDMA) has been used to study the scaling in non-linear, complex and dynamic systems. To achieve this goal, we applied the backward ({theta} = 0) MFDMA method for one-dimensional signals. We observe weak multifractal (close to monofractal) behaviour in some of the time series of our candidate except in the mm, UV and X-ray bands. The non-linear temporal correlation is the main source of the observed multifractality in the time series whereas the heaviness of the distribution contributes less.

We present a exactly soluble model for financial time series that mimics the long range volatility correlations known to be present in financial data. Although our model is `monofractal by construction, it shows apparent multiscaling as a result of a
slow crossover phenomenon on finite time scales. Our results suggest that it might be hard to distinguish apparent and true multifractal behavior in financial data. Our model also leads to a new family of stable laws for sums of correlated random variables.
We present Space-VLBI RadioAstron observations at 1.6 GHz and 4.8 GHz of the flat spectrum radio quasar 3C 273, with detections on baselines up to 4.5 and 3.3 Earth Diameters, respectively. Achieving the best angular resolution at 1.6 GHz to date, we
have imaged limb-brightening in the jet, not previously detected in this source. In contrast, at 4.8 GHz, we detected emission from a central stream of plasma, with a spatial distribution complementary to the limb-brightened emission, indicating an origin in the spine of the jet. While a stratification across the jet width in the flow density, internal energy, magnetic field, or bulk flow velocity are usually invoked to explain the limb-brightening, the different jet structure detected at the two frequencies probably requires a stratification in the emitting electron energy distribution. Future dedicated numerical simulations will allow the determination of which combination of physical parameters are needed to reproduce the spine/sheath structure observed by Space-VLBI with RadioAstron in 3C 273
Since its discovery in 1963, 3C273 has become one of the most widely studied quasars with investigations spanning the electromagnetic spectrum. While much has been discovered about this historically notable source, its low-frequency emission is far l
ess well understood. Observations in the MHz regime have traditionally lacked the resolution required to explore small-scale structures that are key to understanding the processes that result in the observed emission. In this paper we use the first sub-arcsecond images of 3C273 at MHz frequencies to investigate the morphology of the compact jet structures and the processes that result in the observed spectrum. Using the full complement of LOFARs international stations, we produce $0.31 times 0.21$ arcsec images of 3C273 at 150 MHz to determine the jets kinetic power, place constraints on the bulk speed and inclination angle of the jets, and look for evidence of the elusive counter-jet at 150 MHz. Using ancillary data at GHz frequencies, we fit free-free absorption (FFA) and synchrotron self-absorption (SSA) models to determine their validity in explaining the observed spectra. The images presented display for the first time that robust, high-fidelity imaging of low-declination complex sources is now possible with the LOFAR international baselines. We show that the main small-scale structures of 3C273 match those seen at higher frequencies and that absorption is present in the observed emission. We determine the kinetic power of the jet to be in the range of $3.5 times 10^{43}$ - $1.5 times 10^{44}$ erg s$^{-1}$ which agrees with estimates made using higher frequency observations. We derive lower limits for the bulk speed and Lorentz factor of $beta gtrsim 0.55$ and $Gamma geq 1.2$ respectively. The counter-jet remains undetected at $150$ MHz, placing a limit on the peak brightness of $S_mathrm{cj_150} < 40$ mJy beam$^{-1}$.
We have presented an optical monitoring of 3C 273, the first quasar discovered fifty years ago. It does not show variability both on intra-night and long-term time scales. To facilitate the further monitoring of 3C 273, we compiled the available cali
brations of the comparison stars in its field into a mean sequence.
Hot ionized gas is observed in the local vicinity of our galaxy through spectral absorption features. The most common hypothesis is that this gas forms a halo surrounding our Milky-Way (MW), in collisional ionization equilibrium. In this paper we inv
estigate the elemental abundance of this hot and ionized local gas. We use a 2.4 Ms stacked X-ray spectrum of the bright blazar 3C 273 and probe the local absorption features. Using ion-by-ion fitting of the X-ray absorption lines we derive the column density of each ionization species. Based on the column densities we reconstruct the Absorption measure distribution (AMD), namely the hydrogenic column density as a function of temperature. We report the elemental abundances of C, N, Ne, and Fe relative to solar O. Previous measurements of local X-ray emission lines in conjunction with the present column densities indicate a scale height of $1-80$ kpc and hydrogen number density of $10^{-4}-10^{-3}$cm$^{-3}$ for the hot ionized gas. Additionally, we detect He-like O lines from the quasar broad line region with velocities of 6400$pm$1500 km s$^{-1}$
