Abstract
A particular class of Synchrotron Self Compton models are discussed, assuming that a power law distribution of relativistic electrons is continuously injected throughout the source, that the radiative cooling time is shorter that the escape time, and that the magnetic to radiation energy density ratio U B/U r is greater than unity. Taking into account self absorption, the Compton to synchrotron luminosity ratio L C/L S greatly exceeds U r/U B if the injected power law electron distribution is steep. As in the model proposed, in a different context, by Zdziarski and Lamb (1986), the radiation produced by the multiple Compton process dominates the emission at all frequencies, and the overall spectrum slope is always flatter than unity.
