Peterson, F. W. ; King, C., III Abstract Optical and radio fluxes, possibly correlated, from two extragalactic variable radio sources are analyzed on the assumption that the radio flux is synchrotron radiation whereas the optical flux is inverse Compton radiation resulting from scattering of the synchrotron photons. Detailed analysis of an outburst in 3C 120 shows that a description of the evolution of the outburst, based on this interpretation, is compatible with its description on the basis of the adiabatic expansion model in all respects but the rate of falloff of the optical flux. Compton optical and X-ray fluxes are calculated for the 1972 radio flare in Cygnus X-3.
