EVN - Symposium Silke Britzen AGN jets and binary black holes „Oscillating“ components in AGN? The case of 0716+714
EVN - Symposium I. Physikalisches InstitutUniversität zu Köln The team at Bonn, Cologne, Paris & Beijing : V. Meyer, N. Kudryavtseva, T. Krichbaum, I. Agudo, U. Bach, A. Witzel, A. Zensus, A. Eckart, J. Roland, S. Qian
EVN - Symposium 0716+714: well-known and still unknown • BL Lac object: redshift still unknown (>0.3) • Variable in all wavelength regimes • IDV: Still the only observed case for correlated radio-optical variability (Quirrenbach 1991) • Different apparent velocities: from sub- to superluminal 0.05 mas/year – 1.1 mas/year; e.g., Eckart et al. 87, Witzel et al. 88, Schalinski et al. 92, Gabuzda et al. 98, Perez-Torres et al. 04, Tian et al. 01, Jorstad et al. 01, Kellermann et al. 04, Bach et al. 05
EVN - Symposium VLA VLBI (15 & 1.6 GHz) 20 mas Antonucci et al. 1986 0716+714: well-known and still unknown • …. and probably helical and certainly misaligned!

EVN - Symposium Advantages of the new identification scenario • Position angle evolution now smooth !! • XY- tracks not random any more but show (some sort of ) rotation • No component ejections • Can explain long-term flux-density variability: correlation between position angle changes and flux-density!
EVN - Symposium NEXT Talk on 1803+784 by Nadia • Similar effect ! • Oscillating components • Rotating jet • Position angle changes correlate with the flux-density evolution ….
