Description

I will present results of studying the parsec-scale jets of the three most famous blazars from the 3C catalog, 3C279, 3C273, and 3C454.3, from the earliest days of VLBI up to the most recent highest resolution observations. I will discuss properties of jets (kinematics, timescales of variability,
magnetic field, jet contents, and jet environment) and stress the importance of radio monitoring in understanding the multi-wavelength behavior and physics of blazars.

The research is supported by NASA grant 80NSSC17K0649 and NSF grant AST-1615796.
