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…
