Statistical Uncertainties of Space Plasma Properties Described by Kappa Distributions

The velocities of space plasma particles often follow kappa distribution functions, which have characteristic high energy <i>tails</i>. The <i>tails</i> of these distributions are associated with low particle flux and, therefore, it is challenging to precisely resolve them in...
