Scientific paper

The highly compact, variable BL Lac object AO 0235+164 has been identified as the highest brightness temperature AGN observed with the VLBI Space Observatory Programme (VSOP) to date (TB > 5.8 times 1013 K, Frey et al. cite{fre00}). Since then, the sub-milliarcsecond radio structure of this source has been studied with dual-frequency (1.6 and 5 GHz), polarization-sensitive VSOP observations during 2001 and 2002. Here we present the first results of this monitoring campaign. The source is weakly polarized and characterized by a radio core that is clearly resolved on space-ground baselines.
