Hoyle, Burbidge and Sargent1 have discussed a model of the quasi-stellar source, 3C 273B, in which the optical emission is synchrotron radiation from relativistic electrons moving in a magnetic field. Some of the synchrotron photons will interact again with the relativistic electrons through the inverse Compton effect and their energy will be increased. In the model chosen by Hoyle et al., the electrons lose about 105 times as much energy in the Compton process as in the synchrotron process. The authors consider that this result is anomalous because the photons which take part in the Compton process have themselves come from the synchrotron process; they point out that the photons can undergo successive Compton collisions and that this could apparently lead to a divergence in the energy radiated by the source. Consequently, Hoyle et al. have rejected this particular model of 3C 273B.
