Certain forms of Lorentz violation can give rise to maximum electron velocities less than the speed of light or to maximum energies for subluminal electrons. Either of these effects can depend on the direction of an electron's motion. Data on high-energy astrophysical sources are very important for constraining these possible effects; their synchrotron and inverse Compton spectra can be used to place complementary bounds. Using data from numerous sources spread across the sky, it is possible to place bounds on the dimensionless Lorentz-violating parameters involved at 10-14-10-20 levels.
