      abstract     = {In 2017 February, the blazar OJ 287 underwent a period of
                      intense multiwavelength activity. It reached a new historic
                      peak in the soft X-ray (0.3–10 keV) band, as measured by
                      the Swift X-ray Telescope. This event coincides with a
                      very-high-energy (VHE) γ-ray outburst that led VERITAS to
                      detect emission above 100 GeV, with a detection significance
                      of 10σ (from 2016 December 9 to 2017 March 31). The
                      time-averaged VHE γ-ray spectrum was consistent with a soft
                      power law (Γ = −3.81 ± 0.26) and an integral flux
                      corresponding to $∼2.4\%$ that of the Crab Nebula above
                      the same energy. Contemporaneous data from multiple
                      instruments across the electromagnetic spectrum reveal a
                      complex flaring behavior, primarily in the soft X-ray and
                      VHE bands. To investigate the possible origin of such an
                      event, our study focuses on three distinct activity states:
                      before, during, and after the 2017 February peak. The
                      spectral energy distributions during these periods suggest
                      the presence of at least two nonthermal emission zones, with
                      the more compact one responsible for the observed flare.
                      Broadband modeling results and observations of a new radio
                      knot in the jet of OJ 287 in 2017 are consistent with a
                      flare originating from a strong recollimation shock outside
                      the radio core.},
