Figure 1

Examples of distribution functions obtained from eq. (11) for selected values of the parameters. In the upper panel we show the case τ1=2 and τ2=5 for three different values of Ω: 2 (black), 3 (red) and 4 (blue). In the middle panel, for the same three Ω values we have τ1=2 and τ2=7. Finally, in the lower panel, still at the same Ω’s, we report τ1=2 and τ2=9.
