Scientific paper

The cocoon model for X sources is examined. It is shown that inverse Compton scattering of relativistic electrons which are emitted from the central pulsar causes an appreciable flux of gamma radiation emitted in the MeV range. The same electrons give, by collisions with the plasma, the energy necessary to mantain the X flux. The ratio of X to gamma luminosity, dependent only on the shape of the electron spectrum, is computed for both power law and monochromatic spectra. The results are consistent with the gamma observations from the Cygnus region.
