Abstract

Description

The relativistic equilibrium velocity distribution coincides with the Maxwellian distribution for small velocities and vanishes at c, the velocity of light. Based on the decay pattern of high-energy tail in the relativistic equilibrium velocity distribution, it is predicted for velocity and velocity rate distributions of astrophysical plasma particles that they fall off to zero, as velocity goes to c, slower than any exponential decay but faster than any power-law decay.
