Abstract
We model the infrared through gamma ray AGN spectrum with a combined accretion disk and nonthermal source model and fit the spectra of a number of sources. The accretion disk model of Sun and Malkan (Sun 1987) adds relativistic effects to the emission from an optically thick, geometrically thin accretion disk; further details can be found in Sun and Malkan (1988) in these proceedings. In the nonthermal source model of Band and Grindlay (1986) relativistic electrons radiate the infrared continuum by synchrotron emission, and the X-ray spectrum by inverse Compton scattering of ultraviolet photons from the accretion disk. The electron distribution consists of a flat (n ∝ γ∼−2.4) low-energy component, and a steeper (n ∝ γ∼−3.4) high-energy component.
