Scientific paper

It is shown that electrons in sources with high brightness temperatures of cyclotron radiation can, in the average, acquire energy through reabsorption despite catastrophic Compton losses. The brightness temperature of stationary sources with synchrotron reabsorption depends only on the energies of the radiating electrons, and if these energies exceed 200 mc-squared, then the brightness temperature can exceed 10 to the 12th K. Consideration is given to the formation of stationary distributions in sources with synchrotron reabsorption, and an analysis is presented of possible limits on the brightness temperature of synchrotron radiation in stationary sources (i.e., synchrotron reactors). Two examples, the quasar 3C 273 and Cen A, are considered
