Figure 1: (u,v) coverage of 0716+714 at September 29 ( left), October 4 ( middle), October 5 ( right). The individual coverage are nearly identical, which allows a reliable comparison of the obtained maps. |

Figure 2: Amplitude vs. (u,v)-distance of 0716+714 (Oct. 5). Clearly visible is the higher noise at the HALCA baselines at large (u,v)-distances. The dotted line (marginally visible in the centre of the HALCA data) represents the final clean model. |

Figure 3: An example of the tests made to check the reliability of the D-term solutions: the panels show the real ( top) and imaginary part ( bottom) of the Stokes U data on all ground array baselines to Los Alamos plotted versus the parallactic angle (Sep. 29). Left panels: before application of D-term calibration. Right panels: after the D-term calibration was applied. The calibration successfully removes the systematic variation of the amplitude with parallactic angle. |

Figure 4: Left panels: ground array contour maps of Stokes I of 0716+714 with polarization vectors superimposed. The length of the polarization vectors is proportional to the intensity of the linear polarization (1 mas corresponds to 2.5 mJy/beam in P). Contours start at 0.13 mJy/beam, increasing in steps of 2. Right panels: contour maps of the linear polarization. Contours start at 0.25 mJy/beam, increasing in steps of 2. The lowest contour of the total intensity is given by the outer grey line. Time order is from top to bottom: 29 Sep., 4 Oct., and 5 Oct. 2000. The beam size, total flux density, and rms are given in the observing log, Table 1. |

Figure 7: Left panels: VSOP contour maps of Stokes I of 0716+714 with polarization vectors superimposed (1 mas corresponds to 6.7 mJy/beam). Contours start at 1.8 mJy/beam and increasing in steps of 2. Right panels: contour maps of the linear polarization. Contours start at 1.3 mJy/beam and increasing in steps of 2. The outline of the total intensity is indicated by the outer grey contour. Time order is from top to bottom: 29 Sep., 4 Oct., and 5 Oct. 2000. The beam size, total flux density and rms are given in the observing log, Table 1. Intensity profiles through the core component that better show the variability are given in Fig. 8. |

Figure 9: Total intensity ( top), linear polarization ( middle), and EVPA variations of 0716+714 and the calibrator 0836+710, as measured at Effelsberg at 5 GHz. The left panel shows the data from September 29 and the right panels from October 4 to 5 (note that the time axis between left and right panels differ). For intensity and polarization, we show relative variations, normalised to the mean (average taken over all three days). For the EVPA we plot the absolute difference relative to the mean EVPA. The mean values are given in Tables 3 and 6. |
