Scientific paper

We intensified our monitoring observations of S5 0716+71 following GASP (GLAST-AGILE Support Program of the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope) alert (see also ATEL #1495, #1500). Dense intranight optical photometry and polarimetry have shown that immediately after optical maximum the positional angle of polarization (EVPA) started to rotate with approximate rate 60 degrees per day. This may correspond to the propagation of a polarized knot spiraling down the jet (as in the case of BL Lac, see Marscher et al., 2008, Nature, 452, 966).
