Scientific paper

Homogeneous synchrotron self-Compton models are discussed in relation to their variability behavior in different frequency bands. In compact sources, the energy distribution of the emitting electrons has to be derived self-consistently, as it responds rapidly to changes in the cooling and the injection rates. This gives the unexpected result that large variations in the X-ray flux are possible for small or null variations in the optical and infrared bands, following a change in the magnetic field strength. If this change is produced by compression of the emission region, there is a correlation between the polarization and flux which is dependent on the spectral index of the source.
