Millimeter-band polarimetry offers a powerful probe of AGN jets, accessing regions less affected by opacity and Faraday rotation than at longer radio wavelengths. As part of the POLAMI program, we have conducted 14 years of 1 mm and 3 mm…

On 18 November 1993, we observed the QSO 1150+812 and the BL Lac object 1803+784, nearly 15\deg apart on the sky, with a VLBI array, simultaneously recording at 8.4 and 2.3 GHz. Using difference astrometry techniques, we determined the…

In this paper, we will discuss the long-term variations in the optical and the infrared bands of some AGNs. It is interesting to note that the reported periods of AGNs are of the similar values (about 10 years, see Fan et al. 1998a, ApJ,…
