the upper bound near ten to the twelve kelvin on the brightness temperature of incoherent synchrotron sources, above which inverse Compton losses run away.

In extragalactic astronomy, inverse Compton limit refers to the upper bound near ten to the twelve kelvin on the brightness temperature of incoherent synchrotron sources, above which inverse Compton losses run away. This meaning comes from Kellermann (1969) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
