VLBA total (contours) and polarised (colour scale) images of 3C 279 at 43 GHz with the total intensity peak of 17.0 Jy/beam, polarised intensity peak of 0.80 Jy/beam, and a Gaussian restoring beam = 0.13 × 0.20 mas² at PA = − 6°; contours represent 0.25,0.5,...,64% of the peak intensity; line segments within the image show direction of linear polarisation; red circles indicate position and size (FWHM) of components according to model fits. Four bright components are moving within 1 mas from the core (A0), but there is no ejection of new components related to the flaring episodes reported in this work.
