•We compose 3 samples of blazars.•Correlated observed bolometric & line luminosity for blazars, Fs and Bs.•Correlated intrinsic bolometric & line luminosity for Fs & Bs, different slopes.•Suggestion: a strong disk-jet link.•Suggestion: Fs & Bs have different accreting modes.
In this article, an estimator of the radiative power for blazars is proposed and is used in the study of the link between the accretion disk power and jet power. The results lend support to the disk-jet symbiosis. Since the blazars are strongly beamed sources, our results suggest that the Doppler enhancement of the sources needs to be removed to obtain physically reasonable results in the disk-jet connection study. The results after de-beaming suggest that FSRQs are accreting in the radiatively efficient regime, while the BL Lac population shows a flatter dependence between jet power and disk power, possibly due to a mixture of sources in the radiatively efficient (the broad lined BL Lacs) and inefficient (the bulk of the BL Lac population) regimes.
