Scientific paper

An inverse Compton origin of the gamma-ray emission of point sources reveals itself by a continuous steepening of the differential gamma ray spectrum with increasing energy due to higher order effects in the Klein-Nishima cross-section. It is shown that the observed breaks in the gamma ray spectra of the Vela pulsar PSR 0833-45 and the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151 can be explained quite naturally by this effect. The implied constraints on the mean energy of the target photon gases allows to discuss the place of origin of the observed gamma rays.
