True but in the context of what our EU friends claim about plasma double layers, large potential drops and layer separation occuring on a cosmic scale, charged particles are accelerated to near the speed of light and should therefore exhibit synchroton radiation.

The issue here is that elliptical galaxies and spiral galaxies are formed under the Peratt mechanism, so why is it that Ellipticals only exhibit synchroton radiation and spirals do not?

If the Birkeland currents carry charged particles at random energies then the formation of ellipticals and spirals via Birkeland currents should result in the random distribution of synchroton radiation in both ellipticals and spirals.
