Relativistic regularized kappa distributions [PDF]
Physics of Plasmas, 2022 The special relativistic generalization of isotropic regularized kappa distributions is derived and compared to that of the original Olbertian (or standard) kappa distributions. It is demonstrated that for the latter, the kappa parameter is even more strongly limited than in the non-relativistic case, while for the former, all positive kappa values ...

Implications of Kappa Suprathermal Halo of the Solar Wind Electrons
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 The electron velocity distributions measured in-situ in space plasmas reveal two central populations, a low-energy and highly dense (quasi-)thermal core, and a more diffuse but hotter suprathermal halo. Even if the core contributes much more to the total

Physical Correlations Lead to Kappa Distributions
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Abstract The recently developed concept of “entropic defect” is important for understanding the foundations of thermodynamics in space plasma physics, and more generally for systems with physical correlations among their particles. Using this concept, this paper derives the basic formulation of the distribution function of velocities (or

Transport Equation of Kappa Distributions in the Heliosphere
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 In this paper, we develop the transport equation of kappa, the fundamental thermodynamic parameter that labels kappa distributions of particle velocities.

Thermodynamic Definitions of Temperature and Kappa and Introduction of the Entropy Defect
Entropy, 2021 This paper develops explicit and consistent definitions of the independent thermodynamic properties of temperature and the kappa index within the framework of nonextensive statistical mechanics and shows their connection with the formalism of kappa ...

Applied Sciences, 2022 Multicomponent plasmas are ubiquitous in astrophysics and space plasma environments. In the present manuscript, we assumed a dusty plasma system consisting of negative and positive dust species and kappa-distributed electrons and ions.

Determining the Bulk Parameters of Plasma Electrons from Pitch-Angle Distribution Measurements
Entropy, 2020 Electrostatic analysers measure the flux of plasma particles in velocity space and determine their velocity distribution function. There are occasions when science objectives require high time-resolution measurements, and the instrument operates in short

Clades and clans: a comparison study of two evolutionary models [PDF]
, 2014 The Yule-Harding-Kingman (YHK) model and the proportional to distinguishable arrangements (PDA) model are two binary tree generating models that are widely used in evolutionary biology.
