Abstract
A physical description of the formation and propagation of working surfaces inside the relativistic jet of the blazar PKS 1510-089 are used to model its γ -ray variability light curve using Fermi-LAT data from 2008 to 2012. The physical model is based on conservation laws of mass and momentum at the working surface as explained by Mendoza et al. (2009). The hydrodynamical description of a working surface is parametrized by the initial velocity and mass injection rate at the base of the jet. We show that periodic variations on the injected velocity profiles are able to account for the observed luminosity, fixing model parameters such as mass ejection rates of the central engine injected at the base of the jet, oscillation frequencies of the flow and maximum Lorentz factors of the bulk flow during a particular burst.

It has been monitored at high energies with AGILE and by FERMI-LAT.It has been studied with Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov Telescope (MAGIC) and High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS)
We apply the hydrodynamical jet model presented in [3] to the light curve (LC) variations displayed by the Blazar PKS 1510089 in the γ-ray domain, using public data obtained with the FERMI-LAT telescope
Summary
They are known to have the most powerful jets and show a highly variable spectral energy distribution (SED) from the radio to the γ-rays wavelengths. We apply the hydrodynamical jet model presented in [3] to the LC variations displayed by the Blazar PKS 1510089 in the γ-ray domain, using public data obtained with the FERMI-LAT telescope
