We present a class of exact solutions of Einstein's gravitational field equations describing spherically symmetric and static anisotropic stellar type configurations. The solutions are obtained by assuming a particular form of the…
This article presents a statistical-mechanical treatment of a relationship (the force equation) between the gravitational potential for two particles and the correlation functions in a relaxed distribution of particles with different…
We study the power spectrum of galaxies in redshift space, with third order perturbation theory to include corrections that are absent in linear theory. We assume a local bias for the galaxies: i.e. the galaxy density is sampled from some…
We review briefly the concepts underlying complex systems and probability distributions. The later are often taken as the first quantitative characteristics of complex systems, allowing one to detect the possible occurrence of regularities…
In the framework of nonextensive statistical mechanics, the equilibrium structures of astrophysical self-gravitating systems are stellar polytropes, parameterized by the polytropic index n. By careful comparison to the structures of…
The main objective of the paper is to determine asymptotic solutions to the initial-value conditions for Vlasov-Ampere/Gauss system of equations that is to find the "far field" solutions. Next, we determine dispersion relations for…
Distribution functions of collisionless systems are known to show non-thermal power law tails. Interestingly, collisionless plasmas in various physical scenarios, (e.g., the ion population of the solar wind) feature a $v^{-5}$ tail in the…
Distribution functions of relative velocities among particles in a vibrated bed of powder are studied both numerically and theoretically. In the solid phase where granular particles remain near their local stable states, the probability…
We analyse the impact of the inverse square law fall-off of the energy density in a charged isotropic spherically symmetric fluid. Initially we impose a linear barotropic equation of state $p=\alpha \rho$ but this leads to an intractable…
We consider the hypothesis that cosmic rays are emitted from the surfaces of neutron stars by a process of evaporation from an internal nuclear liquid to a dilute external gas which constitutes the "vacuum". On this basis, we find an…
We show that an equilibriumlike additivity property can remarkably lead to power-law distributions observed frequently in a wide class of out-of-equilibrium systems. The additivity property can determine the full scaling form of the…
It is shown that power law phase space distributions describe marginally stable Gibbsian equilibria far from thermal equilibrium which are expected to occur in collisionless plasmas containing fully developed quasi-stationary turbulence.…
Behavior of condensed matter systems deviating from the standard equilibrium conditions is discussed. Statistical properties of coupled dynamic-stochastic systems are studied within a combination of the maximum information principle and the…
Violent relaxation process of spherical stellar systems is examined by numerical simulations of shell model. The collapse of uniform density sphere both with and without external force is investigated. It is found that time variation of…
The kinetic motion of the stars of a galaxy is considered within the framework of a relativistic scalar theory of gravitation. This model, even though unphysical, may represent a good laboratory where to study in a rigorous, mathematical…
Spherically symmetric relativistic stars with the polytropic equation of state (EoS), which possess the local pressure anisotropy, are considered within the framework of general relativity. The generalized Lane-Emden equations are derived…
The relativistic Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution for the system of $N$ events with motion in space-time parametrized by an invariant ``historical time'' $\tau $ is considered without the simplifying approximation $m^2\cong M^2$, where $M$ is…
The high-energy non-thermal universe is dominated by power law-like spectra. Therefore results in high-energy astronomy are often reported as parameters of power law fits, or, in the case of a non-detection, as an upper limit assuming the…
It is shown that the comment by Costa and Meneses [1] did not point any technical or conceptual flaw in our paper titled ``Conservative Force Fields in Nonextensive Kinetic Theory" (Physica A 316, 289 (2002)). In particular, the application…
Previously, we showed that surface density profiles of the form of a power-law times a Sersic function satisfy the hydrostatic Jeans equations, a variety of observational constraints, and the condition of a minimal radial entropy profile in…
