$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[angle=-90,width=8.3cm,clip]{0196fig1.ps}\end{figure}$ Figure 1: The synchrotron flux at 1.36 $\times$ 10¹⁴ Hz versus the inverse Compton flux at 1.2 $\times$ 10²³ Hz. The dependence is quadratic (solid line) rather than linear (dashed line). The numbers next to data points correspond to the epoch numbers in Hartman et al. (2001). For the epochs in parenthesis fluxes extrapolated from adjacent frequencies were used.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=10.8cm,clip]{0196fig2.ps}\end{figure}$ Figure 2: The multi-frequency light-curves and model fits for 3C 279. The best-fit total flux density light-curve (solid line) is the sum of a constant jet component (long-dashed line), the global decay of all outbursts peaking before 1989.0 (thick dotted line) and 6 outbursts (dotted lines). The outburst fluxes are shown in a cumulative manner. The starting times of the outbursts are shown above the light-curves.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[angle=-90,width=13.8cm,clip]{0196fig3.ps}\end{figure}$ Figure 3: The synchrotron components at epochs P1 a) and P2 b). The squares indicate the measured fluxes with error bars and the solid line corresponds to the total model spectrum, which is the sum of a constant jet component (long-dashed line) and the individual synchrotron outbursts (dotted lines). The dotted line at the lowest frequencies is the contribution from all outbursts peaking before 1989. Outbursts 1-4 (of Fig. 2) are identified.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=7.7cm,clip]{0196fig4.ps}\end{figure}$ Figure 4: The spectral energy distribution of 3C 279 during epoch P2 (1993.0). The total inverse Compton energy spectrum (solid line) is the sum of the SSC spectrum of the underlying jet component (dashed line) and of the SSC spectrum of the 1st and 4th shock component (dotted lines). Arrows indicate upper limits.

The total inverse Compton energy spectrum (solid line) is composed of the SSC spectrum of the underlying jet component (dashed line) and the SSC spectrum of the shock components 1, 2 and 3 (dotted lines).
