Demystifying the success of empirical distributions in space plasmas

Motivated by the recent result by Davis et al. [Phys. Rev. E 100, 023205 (2019)2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.100.023205] that velocity distributions of collisionless steady-state plasmas must follow superstatistics, we examine systematically the ability of superstatistics to account for observations of...
