Wave instabilities in anisotropic regularized Kappa plasmas: New plasma dispersion functions and numerical validation
arXiv:2606.08331v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Plasmas in space and astrophysical environments are frequently found in (quasi-)stationary states not in thermal equilibrium, indicated by velocity distribution functions (VDFs) featuring nonthermal characteristics, such as Lorentzian high-energy tails and kinetic (temperature and strahl/beam) anisotropies. For decades, in-situ observations of electrons and ions in the solar corona, solar wind or planetary magnetospheres have been modelled...
