Scientific paper

The author shows that spherically accreting black hole models emitting bremsstrahlung radiation provide an excellent fit to the observed X-ray spectrum of typical active galactic nuclei, as well as of 3C 273 and Cygnus X-1. The spectral slope remains approximately constant under changes of luminosity, as required by observations. Only one parameter, Tmax, is needed for the fit.
