Non - gaussian statistics and stellar rotational velocities of main sequence field stars
In this letter we study the observed distributions of rotational velocity in a sample of more than 16,000 nearby F and G dwarf stars, magnitude complete and presenting high precision V sini measurements. We show that the velocity distributions cannot be fitted by a maxwellian. On the other hand, an analysis based on both Tsallis and Kaniadakis power-law statistics is by far the most appropriate...
متن کاملLog-amplitude statistics of non-Gaussian fluctuations
To quantify heavy-tailed distributions observed in financial time series, we propose a general method to characterize symmetric non-Gaussian distributions. In our approach, an observed time series is assumed to be described by the multiplication of Gaussian and amplitude random variables, where the amplitude variable describes fluctuations of the standard deviation. Based on this framework, it ...
متن کاملNon-Gaussian statistics of multiple filamentation.
We consider the statistics of light amplitude fluctuations for the propagation of a laser beam subjected to multiple filamentation in an amplified Kerr media, with both linear and nonlinear dissipation. Dissipation arrests the catastrophic collapse of filaments, causing their disintegration into almost linear waves. These waves form a nearly Gaussian random field that seeds new filaments. For s...
متن کاملNon-Gaussian statistics of pencil beam surveys
We study the effect of the non-Gaussian clustering of galaxies on the statistics of pencil beam surveys. We find that the higher order moments of the galaxy distribution play an important role in the probability distribution for the power spectrum peaks. Taking into account the observed values for the kurtosis of galaxy distribution we derive the general probability distribution for the power s...
متن کاملNon-extensive statistics and the stellar polytrope index
Polytropic distribution functions provide the simplest models for self-gravitating stellar systems [1]. These models are characterized by an equation of the state of the form p = Kρ , where K and γ are constants. The polytropic index n is defined by the following expression: γ = 1 + 1 n which in the limit n → ∞ or, equivalently, γ = 1 results in an equation of state identical to the one of an i...
