On relativistic jet/counterjet asymmetry in the presence of radiating jet boundary layer
M. Ostrowski, L. Stawarz
We consider radiation of relativistic electrons accelerated within the jet extended boundary layer. Due to velocity shear across the boundary the observed jet/counterjet brightness…

On particle acceleration in turbulent shear boundary layers of relativistic jets
M. Ostrowski, L. Stawarz
We discuss processes accelerating cosmic ray electrons at boundaries of relativistic jets. The resulting spectrum is expected to posses two characteristic components: a power-law d…
