Temporal evolution of the electron distribution N_e(γ) multiplied by γ (left panel) and of the emitted SSC spectra (right panel) during a particle acceleration episode for the parameters listed in Table 1. The colors indicate different times (in units of t_acc; see the color bar). The dashed line in the left panel shows the model-predicted slope for the electron distribution. The vertical solid and dashed lines in the right panel indicate the characteristic NIR (2.2 μm) and X-ray (2–10 keV) frequencies, respectively.
