AbstractWe demonstrate the influence of an electron non-Maxwellian distribution function on the collisional excitation coefficient and, as an example, on the excitation equilibrium of Fe XIV in the solar corona. The results can be used for specific applications in the solar corona, especially in the active corona, where deviations from Maxwellian distribution can be significant.

Analytical Expressions

Analytical expressions for the weakly relativistic dielectric tensor near the electron-cyclotron frequency and harmonies are obtained to any order in finite-Larmor-radius effects for a bi-Maxwellian distribution function. The dielectric tensor is written in ternis of generalized Shkarofsky dispersion functions, whose properties are well known. Relevant limiting cases are considered and, in particular, the anti-Hermitian part of the (fully relativistic) dielectric tensor is evaluated for two cases of strong temperature anisotropy.
