A Multiple Power Law Distribution for Initial Mass Functions
Christopher Essex, Shantanu Basu, Janett Prehl +1
We introduce a new multi-power-law distribution for the Initial Mass Function (IMF) to explore its potential properties. It follows on prior work that introduced mechanisms account…
A Dual Power Law Distribution for the Stellar Initial Mass Function
Karl Heinz Hoffmann, Christopher Essex, Shantanu Basu +1
We introduce a new dual power law (DPL) probability distribution function for the mass distribution of stellar and substellar objects at birth, otherwise known as the initial mass…
How Hot Is Radiation?
Christopher Essex, Dallas C. Kennedy, R. Stephen Berry
A self-consistent approach to nonequilibrium radiation temperature is introduced using the distribution of the energy over states. We begin rigorously with ensembles of Hilbert spa…
Minimum Entropy Production of Neutrino Radiation in the Steady State
Christopher Essex, Dallas C. Kennedy
A thermodynamical minimum principle valid for photon radiation is shown to hold for arbitrary geometries. It is successfully extended to neutrinos, in the zero mass and chemical po…
