Space plasmas are frequently described by kappa distributions.Non-extensive statistical mechanics involves the maximization of the Tsallis entropic form under the constraints of canonical ensemble, considering also a dyadic formalism between the ordinary and escort probability distributions.This paper addresses the statistical origin of kappa distributions, and shows that they can be connected read more with non-extensive statistical mechanics without considering the dyadic formalism of ordinary/escort distributions.While this concept does significantly simplify the usage of the theory, it costs the definition of a dyadic entropic formulation, in order to preserve the consistency between statistical mechanics and thermodynamics.Therefore, the simplification of the theory by means of avoiding dyadic formalism is impossible within wella color touch 77 45 the framework of non-extensive statistical mechanics.
