43 GHz VLBA images (contours) and Gaussian components of S5 0716+714 at different epochs between September 2008 and October 2010. The date of observation is given at the bottom of each map (shifted Julian day, JD−2 454 000). The fitted model parameters for each epoch are given in Table A.1. The cross at the bottom of each map represents the FWHM of the restoring beam (0.25 × 0.18 mas). Contour levels correspond to −0.003 0.003 0.006 0.012 0.024 0.048 0.096 0.19 0.38 0.76 1.54 3.07 6.14 12.28 24.58 49.15 98.30 mJy/beam.
