Electrostatic waves in astrophysical Druyvesteyn plasmas: I. Langmuir waves
Simon Tischmann, Rudi Gaelzer, Dustin Schröder +2
Plasmas in various astrophysical systems are in non-equilibrium states as evidenced by direct in-situ measurements in the solar wind, solar corona and planetary environments as wel…

Heat-flux Instabilities of Regularized Kappa Distributed Strahl Electrons Resolved with ALPS
Dustin L. Schröder, Marian Lazar, Rodrigo A. López +1
The fluid behavior of the solar wind is affected by the heat flux carried by the suprathermal electron populations, especially the electron strahl (or beam) that propagates along t…

A dispersion function for the regularized kappa distribution function
Rudi Gaelzer, Horst Fichtner, Klaus Scherer
In this work we define the plasma dispersion function for a suprathermal plasma described with a regularized kappa distribution. As is known from Maxwellian as well as (standard) k…
