ABSTRACT OSTER1 has claimed that energy losses due to the inverse Compton effect can be considerably larger than was previously thought, when stimulated scattering is taken into account. If
true, this would seriously hinder the understanding of compact radio sources. We wish to point out that Oster's discussion is erroneous and grossly exaggerates the importance of
stimulated inverse Compton scattering. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through
