Title: Characteristics of the astrophysical and space plasmas with power-law distributions

Abstract:

The astrophysical and space plasmas with power-law distributions have been frequently observed and studied. The power-law distributions represent nonequilibrium stationary states of some complex plasma systems away from equilibrium with non-local and long-range interactions. The characteristics of the type of plasmas with the power-law distributions generally depend on the power-law parameters and thus are always different from those known in the plasma physics using Boltzmann statistics with exponential Maxwell distributions. The new characteristics of the astrophysical and space plasmas with power-law distributions can be studied in the framework of nonextensive statistics developed in the recent statistical mechanics.
