Abstract

The similarities between blazars and radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (RLNLS1s) have received much attention. In this paper, by using the magnetized slim disk model, we calculate the jet power and disk luminosity. It is found that the jet power is only a very small fraction of the disk luminosity, <10%. This indicates that the jet orientation of RLNLS1 is close to the line-of-sight, which is similar to blazars.
