Scientific paper

In order to avoid the problems associated with electron-synchrotron models of quasar visible and infrared radiation, a nonrelativistic Compton-scattering model is proposed. Calculations of the emergent flux from such models produce power-law spectra with a wide range of spectral indices. An analogy to reactor theory is pointed out. Fluctuation and polarization behavior resembling that observed is predicted. Possible ranges of parameters and their constraints are discussed, but no attempt is made to construct a detailed model of any individual object.
