PKS 1749+096 is a BL Lac object showing weak extended jet emission to the northeast of the compact VLBI core on parsec scales. We aim at better understanding the jet kinematics and variability of this source and finding clues that may…

We have investigated a frequency-dependent shift in the absolute position of the optically thick apparent origin of parsec-scale jets ("core shift" effect) to probe physical conditions in ultra-compact relativistic outflows in AGN. We used…

An increasing number of blazars have been reported to show jet wobbling (i.e., non-regular rotations of the structural position angle of their innermost jets in the plane of the sky with amplitudes between 20 deg. and 50 deg., and time…

We examine the 2008-2016 $\gamma$-ray and optical light curves of three bright BL Lac objects, 0716+714, MRK 421, BL Lac, which exhibit large structured variability. We searched for periodicities by using a fully Bayesian approach. For two…

Densely time sampled multi-frequency flux measurements of the extreme BL Lac object S5 0716+714 over the past three years allow us to study its broad-band variability, and the detailed underlying physics, with emphasis on the location and…

We present Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations of the radio source J1625+4134 at 22 and 15 GHz and analyze them in concurrence with other existing VLBI data on this source. The high resolution images at 15 and 22 GHz show a short…

We present two epoch polarimetric images of the BL Lac object 0735+178 obtained with the Very Long Baseline Array at 22 and 43 GHz. These images provide the highest resolution observations of this source to date, and show a twisted jet with…

In a two-component jet model, the emissions are the sum of the core and extended emissions: $S^{\rm ob}=S_{\rm core}^{\rm ob}+S_{\rm ext}^{\rm ob}$, with the core emissions, $S_{\rm core}^{\rm ob}= f S_{\rm ext}^{\rm ob}\delta^{q}$, being a…

We explore the variability and cross-frequency correlation of the flux density and polarization of the blazar OJ287, using imaging at 43 GHz with the Very Long Baseline Array, as well as optical and near-infrared polarimetry. The…

We present 23 interferometric images of parsec-scale jet of the quasar PKS 1741--03 at 15, 24 and 43 GHz spanning about 13 yr. We model the images as a superposition of discrete two--dimensional elliptical Gaussian components, with…

The Gamma-ray BL Lac object OJ 287 is known to exhibit inner-parsec "jet-wobbling", high degrees of variability at all wavelengths and quasi-stationary features including an apparent (~100 deg) position angle change in projection on the sky…

We present total and polarized intensity images of 15 active galactic nuclei obtained with the Very Long Baseline Array at 7 mm at 17 epochs from 1998 March to 2001 April. At some epochs the images are accompanied by nearly simultaneous…

We present polarimetric 5 GHz to 43 GHz VLBI observations of the BL Lacertae object PKS 0735+178, spanning March 1996 to May 2000. Comparison with previous and later observations suggests that the overall kinematic and structural properties…

Over the course of three hours on 27 December 2008 we obtained optical (R-band) observations of the blazar S5 0716+714 at a very fast cadence of 10 s. Using several different techniques we find fluctuations with an approximately 15-minute…

NRAO 530 is an optically violent variable source and has been studied with multi-epoch multi-frequency high-resolution VLBI observations. NRAO 530 was monitored with the VLBA at three frequencies (22, 43 and 86 GHz) on 10 consecutive days…

The BL Lac object S5 0716+714 was monitored during a multifrequency campaign in 1996. Preliminary analysis of the optical, ROSAT and RXTE data are presented. Strong variability on short time scales was observed. The data suggest an…

Optical light curves of bright BL Lac objects, in particular those having the SED synchrotron peak at frequencies lower than 10E14 Hz, are characterized by long-term trends with time scales of a few decades. These variations are probabily…

We locate the gamma-ray and lower frequency emission in flares of the BL Lac object AO 0235+164 at >12pc in the jet of the source from the central engine. We employ time-dependent multi-spectral-range flux and linear polarization monitoring…
