In this synchrotron radiation model, the essential feature is that the basic form of the theoretical continuum is a characteristic of the energy evolution of a single electron. The model may be applied to sources containing high magnetic field regions where electrons have radiation lifetimes short compared with typical observation times; the electrons are generated in condensations of material which also amplify magnetic fields to values required for the emission of optical synchrotron radiation. A more specialized version of the model can provide a description of the QSOs that is consistent with their cosmological interpretation.
