Misestimation of temperature when applying Maxwellian distributions to space plasmas described by kappa distributions
This paper presents the misestimation of temperature when observations from a kappa distributed plasma are analyzed as a Maxwellian. One common method to calculate the space plasma parameters is by fitting the observed distributions using known analytical forms. More often, the distribution function is included in a forward model of the instrument’s response, which is used to reproduce the obse...
متن کامل"Lagrangian Temperature": Derivation and Physical Meaning for Systems Described by Kappa Distributions
The paper studies the “Lagrangian temperature” defined through the entropy maximization in the canonical ensemble, which is the negative inverse Lagrangian multiplier corresponding to the constraint of internal energy. The Lagrangian temperature is derived for systems out of thermal equilibrium described by kappa distributions such as space plasmas. The physical meaning of temperature is manife...
متن کاملCollision-free Path Planning for Articulated Robots
The purpose of this paper is to develop a method of Collision-Free Path Planning (CFPP) for articulated robots. First, the configuration of a robot is designed using a set of robot joint angles derived from robot inverse kinematics. The joint space, which is made of a joint angle set, forms a Configuration space (Cspace). Obstacles in a robot work-cell are transformed into Cobstacles (obstacles...
متن کاملFirehose instability in space plasmas with bi-kappa distributions
Context. The existence of suprathermal charged particle populations in space plasma is frequently confirmed by interplanetary missions. In general, the velocity distribution functions are anisotropic, field aligned (gyrotropic) with two temperatures, parallel (T‖) and perpendicular (T⊥) to the ambient magnetic field B0. Aims. Here, the dispersion properties of the firehose instability, which re...
متن کاملMeasuring Phonon Mean Free Path Distributions by Probing Quasiballistic Phonon Transport in Grating Nanostructures
Heat conduction in semiconductors and dielectrics depends upon their phonon mean free paths that describe the average travelling distance between two consecutive phonon scattering events. Nondiffusive phonon transport is being exploited to extract phonon mean free path distributions. Here, we describe an implementation of a nanoscale thermal conductivity spectroscopy technique that allows for t...
