For , the steady polar flux satisfies . Regularity at both poles makes its integration constant zero. Thus
Normalize with :
The zero-flow steady gyrotactic orientation distribution is therefore
Differentiating the logarithm of its normalization integral gives the Langevin function mean
As , and the mean tends to zero; as , the distribution concentrates at the upward pole and the mean tends to . At zero diffusivity the pole-concentrated steady state is a probability measure, not a regular density of this formula.
