The parameter space within which synchrotron emission models for gamma-ray burst spectra are valid is evaluated in the cases of thermal and power-law particle distributions. The spectra emitted by noncooling and cooling thermal and power-law particle distributions are modeled numerically over relativistic and nonrelativistic regimes. The structure of the radiation is defined near the fundamental and the continuum up to the 1000th harmonic. Comparisons are made with burst event data collected during the Apollo 16, Venera, SMM, Pioneer Venus Orbiter and Hackucho missions. A two-component synchrotron model is proposed for gamma-ray burst events. The electron-positron distribution is projected to have a thermal component and a nonthermal power-law tail.
