Understanding the nature of the blazar CGRaBS~J0211$+$1051
  The source CGRaBS~J0211$+$1051 (MG1 J021114+1051, z=0.20) flared up on 2011 January 23 in high-energy $\gamma$-rays as reported by {\it Fermi}/LAT. This event was followed by the increased activity at the UV, optical and radio frequencies as detected by the observing facilities worldwide. The source also showed a high and variable optical polarization based on which it was proposed to be a low-energy peaked BL Lac Object (LBL). Present work reports first comprehensive multi-wavelength study of this source using data in the radio, optical, UV, X- and $\gamma$-rays and optical polarization. Using these multi-wavelength data on the source, we have estimated various parameters and verified it's classification vis-a-vis blazar sequence. Multi-waveband light-curves are used to discuss flaring events of 2011 January in an attempt to address the nature of the source and pinpoint the possible physical processes responsible for the emission. The light-curves show variations in the high energy $\gamma$-rays to be correlated with X-ray, UV and optical variations, perhaps indicating to their co-spatial origin. Our optical data, quasi-simultaneous with UV (Swift-UVOT) and X-ray (Swift-XRT) data, enabled us to trace low energy (Synchrotron) component of the spectral energy distribution (SED) for CGRaBS J0211+1051, for the first time. The SED shows the synchrotron peak to lie at $\sim 1.35\times10^{14}$~Hz, confirming CGRaBS~J0211+1051 to be an LBL. Some other parameters, such as local magnetic field ($\sim 5.93 $ Gauss) and black hole mass ($\sim 2.4 \times 10^{8} M_{\odot}$) are also estimated which are in agreement with their typical values for the blazars. Based on the present study, identification of the Fermi/LAT source, 2FGL J0211.2+1050, with its BL Lac counterpart CGRaBS J0211+1051 is confirmed.
