Notes. (1) Date close to flare 2–6, (2) variability size estimated from the variability time scale at 15 GHz, (3) variability size at turnover frequency νr extrapolated from the variability size at 15 GHz, θvar, 15 GHz, using the jet geometry of ϵ = 0.44, (4) the extrapolated VLBI size at turnover frequency from the VLBI size at 43 GHz, and (5) the size directly determined by VLBI observations at 43 GHz using the VLBI data from the VLBA-BU-Blazar monitoring program (Jorstad et al. 2017).

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
