VLBA image of 3C 454.3 at 43 GHz at epoch 2011 May 22 (MJD 55704). The contours represent total intensity, starting at 0.25% of the maximum of 6.00 Jy beam⁻¹ and increasing by factors of 2. The color scale represents linearly polarized intensity, with maximum value (yellow) of 0.27 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.
