Synchrotron-limited Particle Acceleration in Relativistic Shearing Flows

Fermi-type shear particle acceleration is a promising mechanism for sustaining ultrarelativistic particles along the kiloparsec scale jets in active galactic nuclei. We explore the possibility of synchrotron-limited electron acceleration in mildly relativistic shearing flows and present numerical so...
