Flux density measurements of the high redshift blazar PSO J047.4478+27.2992 at 4.7 and 8.2 GHz with RATAN-600

2020 
We report the first detection at 4.7 and 8.2 GHz with the RATAN-600 radio telescope of the source PSO J047.4478$+$27.2992, which has been announced as a blazar at $z=6.1$. The average flux density is $12\pm3$ mJy and $8\pm4$ mJy at 4.7 and 8.2 GHz respectively, and an upper limit is estimated as 3 mJy at 11.2 GHz. The light curve at 4.7 GHz, obtained on a time scale of 4 months, exhibits moderate variability of the source (fractional variability $F_{var}=0.28\pm0.02$). The new RATAN-600 measurements extend previous literature data to higher frequencies, indicating a single power-law radio spectrum with $\alpha_{0.147-8.2}$=$-0.51\pm0.1$. The monochromatic radio luminosity at 4.7 GHz $P_{\nu} \sim 2 \times 10^{27}$ W Hz$^{-1}$ is consistent with values for high redshift quasars at $z\geq 3$.
