我们研究耀变体PG 1553+113的振荡轮廓形态，关联其知名的约2.1年周期性。我们在γ射线、X射线、紫外和光学光变曲线中识别出单个周期，使用单峰和多峰事件的分析模型表征它们的时间轮廓。我们发现，这些振荡通常由一个宽的活动包络叠加更短时标的子结构描述，表明约2.1年信号并非严格的正弦或自相似调制。不同周期和能段的内部形态存在差异，X射线中尤为明显：所有分析周期均强烈倾向于多成分轮廓，而γ射线能段中多个周期可接受统计上相当的经验描述。同期多波长（MWL）振荡显示活动事件大致对齐，但次级成分的时序和相对振幅未系统重复。这表明存在共同的长期调制影响宽带辐射，同时额外的局地或能量依赖过程塑造单个周期。该图像与几何的、喷流相关的贡献（形成宽的重复包络）及叠加其上的本征变率相符。我们还识别出新周期，其主峰伴随较弱的类双峰特征，与PG 1553+113的超大质量黑洞双星情景中先前讨论的结构相似。尽管结果未为此解释提供决定性证据，但新分析周期中相似形态的重现使该情景仍具可行性。
英文摘要
We investigate the morphology of the oscillation profiles of the blazar PG~1553+113 in relation to its well-known $\sim$2.1 yr periodicity. We identify individual cycles in the $γ$-ray, X-ray, UV, and optical light curves and characterize their temporal profiles using analytical models for single- and multi-peaked events. We find that the oscillations are generally described by a broad activity envelope with shorter-timescale substructure, showing that the $\sim$2.1 yr signal is not a strictly sinusoidal or self-similar modulation. The internal morphology varies across cycles and energy bands. This is particularly evident in X-rays, where all analyzed cycles show a strong formal preference for multi-component profiles, unlike the $γ$-ray band, where several cycles admit statistically comparable empirical descriptions. The contemporaneous MWL oscillations show broadly aligned activity episodes, but the timing and relative amplitudes of secondary components are not systematically repeated. This suggests that a common long-term modulation affects the broadband emission, while additional local or energy-dependent processes shape individual cycles. Such a picture is compatible with a geometric, jet-related contribution to the broad recurrent envelope, with intrinsic variability superimposed on it. We also identify new cycles with a dominant peak accompanied by weaker twin-peak-like features, similar to structures previously discussed in a supermassive black hole binary scenario for PG~1553+113. Although our results do not provide definitive evidence for this interpretation, the recurrence of comparable morphologies in newly analyzed cycles keeps this scenario viable.
