Abstract. We present the data from 11 observing campaigns (carried out between 1989 and 1999) at the Effelsberg 100 m radio telescope to study Intraday Variability in Active Galactic Nuclei. Most of these observations were performed in total power and linear polarization. We give summary tables, light curves, and structure functions from these data sets. Due to the large number of individual observations, only examples of the lightcurves will be presented here; the complete set of figures will be accessible online . Intraday variations are present in nearly all sources (detected during at least one of the observing campaigns). Variations in total flux density are usually accompanied by similar variability of the linear polarization. In most cases, the latter variations are stronger and faster by up to a factor of two.

Abstract. We present the data of three observing campaigns with the VLA performed to study intraday variability in compact extragalactic radio sources. The first campaign (May 1989) lasted 5 days; total intensity as well as linear polarization data were obtained at 2, 3.6, 6, and 20 cm wavelength for 9 program sources. In the second observing run (February 1990), a five-antenna subarray of the VLA was used for 25 days to monitor the sources 0716+714, 0917+624, and 0954+658, with dense sampling at the same four wavelengths. In the third run (October 1992), which lasted 22 days, 8 program sources were monitored at 3.6, 6, and 20 cm wavelength, and 2 additional sources at 6 cm only, again with a five-antenna subarray. We present summary tables, light curves, and structure functions from these data sets.
