Description
Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations enable us to study the parsec-scale structure of active galactic nuclei (AGN), and connect changes in jet brightness and morphology to the multiwavelength variability exhibited by these sources. In this talk, I will focus on our work related to the investigation of the connection between the radio and gamma-ray variability. I will discuss our VLBI studies of a gamma-ray flaring blazar from the early Universe, as well as AGN monitoring programmes aimed at studying high-energy detected sources and strong neutrino associations.
