All contour maps of 0716+714 at 5 GHz ( top row), 8 GHz ( middle) and 15 GHz
( bottom). The maps are convolved with circular beams
of 1.2 mas at 5 GHz, 0.8 mas at 8 GHz and 0.5 mas at
15 GHz. Total flux density, original beam size and the level of the lowest

Figure 3: Core separation as a function of time for the individual modelfit components. Data from all frequencies are combined. Possible frequency-dependent position shifts are less than 0.1 mas and are not corrected. The solid lines show the linear fits to the path for each component. To show more clearly the well-defined components we do not show two of the farthest data points of C1 at r=11.2 mas and r=11.9 mas and one data point of C2 at r=6.9 mas. |

Figure 4: Core separation as a function of time for the components C5, C7, C8 and C9 separated for the different frequencies. The solid lines show the linear fits to the path for each component. Shifts between the paths at different frequencies are visible, but are typically smaller than the measured uncertainties. |
