Size-luminosity scaling and blazar unification

Reverberation mapping of radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (AGN) has shown that the size of the broad line region (BLR) scales with the power of the source. We assume that this scaling also applies to blazars. We demonstrate that, according to this scaling, the inverse Compton (IC) losses are domin...
