Non-maxwellian Ion Velocity Distributions Observed Using Eiscat
Recent observations from the EISCAT neutral thermal speed. However, for larger incoherent scatter radar have revealed bursts of drifts the distribution function is predicted to poleward ion flow in the dayside auroral ionosbe highly non-Maxwellian and takes the form of a phere which are consistent with the ionospheric torus in velocity space (symmetric about the signature of flux transfer event...
متن کاملBinary masks yielding Gaussian light distributions in Maxwellian view
Gaussian light distributions are important stimuli for vision research, but are difficult to produce for Maxwellian viewing conditions. In this study, two binary Maxwellian-view masks which produce smooth light distributions on the retina were considered: one was an out-of-focus circular aperture; the other was an in-focus pattern of opaque squares with a prescribed size distribution. The diffr...
متن کاملNon-Maxwellian electron distributions in clusters of galaxies
Context. Thermal X-ray spectra of clusters of galaxies and other sources are commonly calculated assuming Maxwellian electron distributions. There are situations where this approximation is not valid, for instance near interfaces of hot and cold gas and near shocks. Aims. The presence of non-thermal electrons affects the X-ray spectrum. To study the role of these electrons in clusters and other...
متن کاملEnergy distributions and stellar parameters
AGB variables of types Lb, SRa, SRb, and Mira are studied by fitting combinations of blackbodies to visual, near infrared and IRAS data. This paper supplements an earlier work dealing with a smaller sample of SRa and SRb variables. The fitted parameters T ∗, T d and Rd/R∗ are related to physically meaningful quantities. Also, quantities derived from the fits like the ratio of the luminosities o...
متن کاملMisestimation 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...
