摘 要: | PMN J0218-2307(4 FGL J0218.9-2305) is classified as a blazar candidate with unknown type(BCU) in the fourth source catalog from the Fermi Large Area Telescope(Fermi-LAT).With the updated Fermi-LAT Pass 8 data,the γ-ray flaring activity toward PMN J0218-2307 is detected.The test statistic(TS) value of PMN J0218-2307 in energy band of 100 MeV-500 GeV is 133.893 with a significance level of 10.96σ.The maximum-likelihood photon flux is(8.131 ± 1.359) × 10~(-9) ph cm~(-2) s~(-1).A significantγ-ray flare in the period from 2008 August 4 to 2019 August 25 is found from the source.The spectral characteristics of GeV energy band of PMN J0218-2307 is similar to that of flat-spectrum radio quasars(FSRQs) in the local Universe.
