From symposium X - and gamma -ray astronomy; Madrid, Spain (11 May 1972). See CONF-720599-. A review is given of the physical properties of extragalactic x-ray sources. The generation of x rays as thermal bremsstrahlung, by the synchrotron mechanism, or by Compton scattering, is discussed. It is shown that each may be important depending on the circumstances. Only more detailed observations will enable one to decide which process dominates in any given source. (auth)
