Scientific paper

We develope a self-consistent theory of the synchrotron-self-Compton emission for optically thin sources with a stationary injection of relativistic monoenergetic electrons. We investigate the electron distribution function, synchrotron and inverse Compton spectra and find their analytical asymptotics. The steady-state electron distribution entangled with synchrotron radiation via Compton losses is shown to produce spectral indices ranging from 1/2 to 1. Possible ways of addressing steep low-energy slopes in some bursts are pointed out. .
