Scientific paper

It is shown that inelastic proton collisions in extragalactic radio sources can account for their radio and γ-ray emissions. The proton Lorentz-factor γp responsible for γ-ray emission is estimated to lie between 1.4 and 86. But for the radio emission (with γe ≡ 103 - 104) the estimated γp values lie between 7 to 300. The estimates of total particle and magnetic energy for a typical radio source is in agreement with equipartition theory.
