Description

The blazar 1ES 1959+650 is one of the nearest TeV extragalactic sources to us. Its gamma-ray spectrum is very hard, with a spectral index of only around 1.9 in the GeV energy band reported in 3FHL (the 3rd Fermi-LAT high energy sources catalog). Years ago, a TeV orphan flare was discovered in this source, and it was considered a potential neutrino source. Shortly after the real-time transient monitoring system based on LHAASO-WCDA established at the end of 2023, a gammaray flare from 1ES 1959+650 was triggered (ATel #16437). In this talk, we will present the several flare events of this source in 2024 and study its variabilities at multi-wavelength. The rare TeV delay phenomenon may be strong evidence of particle acceleration process.
