Comparison of simulated peak heights for the orbits used in the analysis for a Maxwellian distribution function with the parameters corresponding to the parameters of the NIS He gas found by Bzowski et al. (2012; orange) with simulated peak heights for identical parameters, but a κ distribution function given by Equation (10), with κ = 10 (cyan) and 2 (green). The shaded area corresponds to the orbits analyzed by Bzowski et al. (2012), where the signal from a κ function must agree with the Maxwellian signal.
