Spectra III: spectra as a function of viewing angle for meridional field loops. Both the left and right panels present seven curves of varied viewing angle ﹩{\theta }_{v}=0^\circ ,30^\circ ,60^\circ ...180^\circ ﹩ with respect to the magnetic axis, for meridional ﹩{\phi }_{* }=0﹩ with ﹩{r}_{\max }=4﹩ and ﹩{B}_{p}=10﹩. The left panel is fixed at ﹩{\gamma }_{e}=10﹩, while the right panel is for ﹩{\gamma }_{e}={10}^{3}﹩. The relatively low Lorentz factor for the left panel is insufficient to fully sample resonant interactions in the peak of the Planckian incoming soft photon distribution, while the Lorentz factor of 103 for the right panel violates COMPTEL bounds for most viewing angles.
