Non-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 کاملEnhancement of the helium resonance lines in the solar atmosphere by suprathermal electron excitation II: non-Maxwellian electron distributions
In solar euv spectra the He i and He ii resonance lines show unusual behaviour and have anomalously high intensities compared with other transition region lines. The formation of the helium resonance lines is investigated through extensive non-LTE radiative transfer calculations. The model atmospheres of Vernazza, Avrett & Loeser (1981) are found to provide reasonable matches to the helium reso...
متن کاملNon-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 کاملThe Color Distributions of Globular Clusters in Virgo Elliptical Galaxies
This Letter presents the color distributions of the globular cluster (GC) systems of 12 Virgo elliptical galaxies, measured using data from the Hubble Space Telescope. Bright galaxies with large numbers of detected GC’s show two distinct cluster populations with mean V − I colors near 1.01 and 1.26. The GC population of M86 is a clear exception; its color distribution shows a single sharp peak ...
متن کاملSimulation of hot-electron oxide tunneling current based on a non-Maxwellian electron energy distribution function
For the simulation of gate oxide tunneling currents in sub-quarter-micron devices, the correct modeling of the electron energy distribution function is crucial. Our approach is based on a recently presented transport model which accounts for six moments of the Boltzmann transport equation. A corresponding analytical model for the electron energy distribution function shows good agreement with M...
