We show results from a 7 year VLBI monitoring programme of 3C273 at millimeter wavelengths. We find evidence for component acceleration, motion or rotation of fluid dynamical patterns in the VLBI jet, and evidence for an outburst-ejection…
Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations show that some active galactic nuclei (AGN) jets exhibit bending even at parsec scales. The nature of bending is comprehensively analysed only for a small number of individual AGN, and…
