Scientific paper

The energy loss of relativistic electrons is considered for astrophysical objects which contain energetic photon gases in the XUV-range. Such objects have been suggested as possible candidates for gamma-ray point sources through the mechanism of inverse Compton scattering. In certain cases where inverse Compton scattering is the dominant energy loss mechanism, an equilibrium spectrum results which can deviate from a strict power law. Such an effect can have consequences on the observed radiation spectrum from such objects.
