Schematic representation of the physical setup. In the proposed scenario, an electron distribution (blob) in the jet, characterized by its geometrical properties, its energy distribution, and its magnetic field (Tables 7 and 8), emits synchrotron radiation. Infrared and optical photons from the disk, the dusty torus and the broad line region reach the blob and are up-scattered to high energies by inverse Compton. The observer, narrowly aligned with the jet, sees the emission boosted by relativistic effects. In the case of bulk-Compton emission, an additional, different distribution would exist, closer to inner region of the blazar (Table 6).
