Exact time-average distribution for a stationary non-Markovian massive Brownian particle coupled to two heat baths

Using a time-averaging technique we obtain exactly the probability distribution for position and velocity of a Brownian particle under the influence of two heat baths at different temperatures. These baths are expressed by a white noise term, representing the fast dynamics, and a colored noise term, representing the slow dynamics. Our exact solution scheme accounts for inertial effects, that are not present in approaches that assume the Brownian particle in the over-damped limit. We are also able to obtain the contribution associated with the fast noise that are usually neglected by other approaches.
