IT is known that the mechanism of synchrotron radiation from relativistic electrons in a magnetic field provides a valid explanation of the continuum electromagnetic radiation from extended cosmic sources, such as radio galaxies. This explanation, however, in respect of the nuclei of quasi-stellar sources meets serious difficulties1. Assuming the quasi-stellar sources are at cosmological distances it is found that their internal radiation field is so intense that it causes overwhelming loss of fast electrons by inverse Compton scattering. Alternatively, a strong magnetic field reduces the lifetime of the fast electrons unacceptably.
