Abstract

The beginnings of strong radio flares in six AGNs were detected and their evolution was studied using 1–22 GHz five epoch instantaneous spectral observations in 1997–1998. The phenomena started at the highest frequency and moved to the lower frequency in a regular fashion. Such behavior of the flares in AGNs can be explained by synchrotron emission from a compact relativistic jet implying different physical models which are discussed. For different types of AGNs the same behavior of flares is revealed, in favor of the same basic physical model for BL Lacs and quasars. A birth of new VLBI components in compact jets associated with these outbursts is predicted.
