Broad-Line Radio Galaxies: Jet Contribution to the Nuclear X-Ray Continuum

It is shown that for broad-line radio galaxies the strength of the nonthermal beamed radiation, when present, is always smaller than the accretion flow by a factor of <0.7 in the 2-10 keV band. This result has been obtained using the procedure adopted for disentangling the flat-spectrum radio quasar 3C 273. Although this implies a significantly smaller nonthermal flux in radio galaxies when compared to blazars, the jet component, if present, could be important at very high energies and thus easily detectable with GLAST.
