A synchrotron self-Compton model with low energy electron cut-off for the blazar S5 0716+714
Olivia Tsang, J. G. Kirk
Rapid inverse Compton cooling sets in when the brightness temperature (T_B) of a self-absorbed synchrotron source with power-law electrons reaches ~10^{12} K. However, T_B inferred…

The inverse Compton catastrophe and high brightness temperature radio sources
Olivia Tsang, J. G. Kirk
The occurrence of the inverse Compton catastrophe when the synchrotron brightness temperature exceeds a threshold value, usually estimated to be 10^{12} K, appears to be in contrad…

High brightness temperatures and circular polarisation in extra-galactic radio sources
J. G. Kirk, O. Tsang
Some rapidly variable extra-galactic radio sources show very high brightness temperatures T_B>10^{12}K and high degrees of circular polarisation (1%). Standard synchrotron models t…
