Context. Blazar AO 0235+164 , located at a redshift of z  = 0.94, has undergone several sharp multi-spectral-range flaring episodes over recent decades. In particular, the episodes that peaked in 2008 and 2015, which were subject to extensive multi-wavelength coverage, exhibited an interesting behav...
