Towards a realistic evaluation of transport coefficients in non-equilibrium space plasmas
Edin Husidic, Klaus Scherer, Marian Lazar +2
Recent studies have outlined the interest for the evaluation of transport coefficients in space plasmas, where the observed velocity distributions of plasma particles are condition…
On the applicability of -distributions
Klaus Scherer, Horst Fichtner, Hans-Jörg Fahr +1
The standard (non-relativistic) -distribution is widely used to fit data and to describe macroscopic thermodynamical behavior, e.g.\ the pressure (temperature) as the second mom…
Firehose instabilities triggered by the solar wind suprathermal electrons
S. M. Shaaban, M. Lazar, R. A. Lopez +2
In collision-poor plasmas from space, e.g., solar wind, terrestrial magnetospheres, kinetic instabilities are expected to play a major role in constraining the temperature anisotro…
On the entropy of plasmas described with regularized -distributions
H. Fichtner, K. Scherer, M. Lazar +2
In classical thermodynamics the entropy is an extensive quantity, i.e.\ the sum of the entropies of two subsystems in equilibrium with each other is equal to the entropy of the ful…
Regularized -distributions with non-diverging moments
K. Scherer, H. Fichtner, M. Lazar
For various plasma applications the so-called (non-relativistic) -distribution is widely used to reproduce and interpret the suprathermal particle populations exhibiting a power…
