Fermi acceleration in astrophysical jets
read the original abstract
We consider the acceleration of energetic particles by Fermi processes (i.e., diffusive shock acceleration, second order Fermi acceleration, and gradual shear acceleration) in relativistic astrophysical jets, with particular attention given to recent progress in the field of viscous shear acceleration. We analyze the associated acceleration timescales and the resulting particle distributions, and discuss the relevance of these processes for the acceleration of charged particles in the jets of AGNs, GRBs and microquasars, showing that multi-component powerlaw-type particle distributions are likely to occur.

Magnetic rigidity reveals the PeVatron acceleration region in SS433
The radio-measured magnetic field in SS 433's inner jet declines as H^-0.5, so the jet retains enough magnetic rigidity at ~100 AU to accelerate protons to PeV energies.
