Description

We have studied the variability of S5 0716+714 at radio 15 GHz and γ-ray band using three different methods. A possible periodicity of P15 GHz=266.0±11.5 and Pγ=344.0±16.4 days are obtained for radio 15 GHz and γ-ray light curves, respectively. The variability may be related to the intrinsically emission mechanism. The difference between the variability timescales of radio 15 GHz and γ-ray may be due to that the emission of radio 15 GHz is produced via the synchrotron process, while the γ-ray is produced by both the SSC and EC processes.
