VLBA image of OJ 287 at 43 GHz at epoch 2012 December 21 (MJD 56282). The contours represent total intensity, starting at 0.25% of the maximum of 0.79 Jy beam⁻¹ and increasing by factors of 2. The color scale represents linearly polarized intensity, with maximum value (yellow) of 0.032 Jy beam⁻¹. The yellow line segments indicate the EVPA. The restoring beam FWHM, representing the angular resolution, is displayed in the lower left corner.
