Scientific paper

We present total and polarized intensity images for a sample of 29 gamma-ray blazars obtained monthly with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) at 43 GHz starting from 2007, June, along with optical polarization observations carried out at the Perkins 72" telescope (Flagstaff, Arizona), 2.2m Calar Alto telescope (Spain), and 70 cm telescope at Crimea Astrophysical Observatory (Ukraine). We discuss the connection between the inner jet activity, polarization behavior, and gamma-ray events seen in the light curves provided by the Fermi LAT.

The VLBA is an instrument of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, a facility of the National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.
