| contents | We investigate the flux intensities spanning from radio waves to $γ$-rays across 36 light curves of Quasar 3C 273, utilizing publicly available data collected by the Integral Science Data Centre (ISDC) database. Our analysis reveals a consistent adherence of all light curves from this quasar to $q$-Gaussian distribution. This compelling finding strongly suggests a nonextensive behavior exhibited by Quasar 3C 273. Moreover, we derive the $q$ entropic indices for these light curves, providing insights into the degree of nonextensivity, where cases with $q>1$ were primarily observed. Utilizing this index, we estimate the nonextensive entropy ($S_{q}$) and explore its correlation with the energy (in eV) and the $q$ index. Notably, we observe a tendency for the $q$ value to increase as the Tsallis entropy decreases. Remarkably, our most significant observation pertains to the relationship between the entropy $S_{q}$ and the energy of the source. We identify an anomalous behavior in entropy, particularly evident in the infrared and $γ$-ray wavebands. |
