Scientific paper

We describe how the combination of VLBA and optical polarization monitoring identifies the site on the VLBA images where the variable optical emission occurs. Correlation between the optical and X-ray and/or γ-ray light curves then establishes an association of the emission across the electromagnetic spectrum with a particular feature on the images. Application of this technique to blazars monitored by GLAST will allow us to construct multiwaveband emission maps of their compact relativistic jets.
