N2 - A typographical error occurred in the implementation of the Coulomb energy-loss term (Eq. (4) of Rephaeli & Persic 2015), which was used to calculate the steady-state spectra of secondary electrons (CRe) in the original paper. This caused an underestimation of the Coulomb loss rate and resulted in the secondary CRe spectrum to be overestimated and steeper. The revised spectral parameters are specified in Table 1, which replaces Table 3 of the original paper. At low energies the revised indices, q1, are essentially unchanged but the breaks, ?b1, are ~2-3 times higher, so the effective slopes are flatter. The error is largely inconsequential to the non-thermal (NT) spectral energy distribution (SED) models of the Magellanic Cloud galaxies presented in the original paper. The reason is that the frequencies of the modeled radio data are, for both galaxies, well above the frequency range of the synchrotron radiation emitted by the Coulomb-affected portions of the respective. Now at: INAF-Padova Astronomical Observatory, vicolo dell'Osservatorio 5, 35122 Padova, Italy secondary-CRe spectra. Furthermore, secondary synchrotron is subdominant in both SED models. Correspondingly, the updated SED models in Figs. 1 (radio) and 2 (broadband) hardly differ from their counterparts in the original paper (see Figs. 3 (right) and 5 (right) and Figs. 4 and 6 (top) in the original paper, respectively). For simplicity, in this Erratum we plot revised models only for the reference T+17 dataset, which uses the G1 ?-ray data of Tang et al. (2017). Similar considerations, however, hold for the auxiliary A+16 dataset, which uses the E0 ?-ray data of Ackermann et al. (2016).
