Abstract
A mechanism is proposed for the emission of radiation by charged particles in the gravitational field of a quasar whereby the gravitational field is coupled directly to the radiation field of the charge via the principle of equivalence. A generalized Larmor formula for the radiation emitted by a charge at rest in a gravitational field can account for the total radiant energy and spectral distribution emitted by quasars. This gravitational mechanism for the emission of electromagnetic radiation becomes more important than any other mechanism when the radius of the quasar is near its Schwarzschild radius.
