The spectrum of flux for a synchrontron source ( AGN for example) drops off at low frequencies. Is that a sensible situation? How comes??

I don't know if this helps - http://www.vlti.org/events/assets/1/proceedings/6.5_Tristram.pdf - http://www.vlti.org/events/assets/1/proceedings/6.5_Tristram.pdf

What does one mean by low frequency? IR, visible, X-ray as opposed to gamma-ray?
