Short summary
The paper develops a consistent model for the anisotropic Maxwell–Jüttner distribution. This is the velocity distribution in a gas of relativistic particles, where the temperature is not equi-distributed in all degrees of freedom. The physical requirements necessary for modeling this distribution are provided. The known models are examined showing that they do not fulfill these requirements, while a new model is constructed and studied that is consistent with all the required conditions.
