Helioseismic inference of the solar radiative opacity [PDF]
The Sun is the most studied of all stars, and thus constitutes a benchmark for stellar models. However, our vision of the Sun is still incomplete, as illustrated by the current debate on its chemical composition.

Olivine’s high radiative conductivity increases slab temperature by up to 200K [PDF]
The thermal evolution of slabs governs their subduction dynamics and the transport of water into Earth’s interior. However, current slab subduction models often neglect the contribution of radiative thermal conductivity (i.e., heat transport by light ...

OPserver: interactive online-computations of opacities and radiative accelerations [PDF]
Codes to compute mean opacities and radiative accelerations for arbitrary chemical mixtures using the Opacity Project recently revised data have been restructured in a client--server architecture and transcribed as a subroutine library.

Stellar Pulsation and Evolution: A Combined Theoretical Renewal and Updated Models (SPECTRUM). I. Updating Radiative Opacities for Pulsation Models of Classical Cepheid and RR-Lyrae [PDF]
Pulsating stars are universally recognized as precise distance indicators and tracers of stellar populations. Their variability, combined with well-defined relationships between pulsation properties and intrinsic evolutionary parameters such as ...

Radiative cooling textiles using industry-standard particle-free nonporous micro-structured fibers [PDF]
Thermal radiation is a major dissipative pathway for heat generated by the human body and offers a significant thermoregulation mechanism over a wide range of conditions.

Medium-induced radiative kernel with the Improved Opacity Expansion
We calculate the fully differential medium-induced radiative spectrum at next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy within the Improved Opacity Expansion (IOE) framework.

Using two independent theoretical methods based on the pseudo-relativistic Hartree–Fock (HFR) and the fully relativistic Multiconfigurational Dirac–Hartree–Fock (MCDHF) approaches, we computed the radiative parameters (transition probabilities and ...

The Inhomogeneity Effect. III. Weather Impacts on the Heat Flow of Hot Jupiters
The interior flux of a giant planet impacts atmospheric motion, and the atmosphere dictates the interior’s cooling. Here we use a non-hydrostatic general circulation model (Simulating Non-hydrostatic Atmospheres on Planets) coupled with a multi-stream ...

Ideas and Tools for Error Detection in Opacity Databases
In this article, we propose several ideas and tools in order to check the reliability of radiative opacity and atomic physics databases. We first emphasize that it can be useful to verify that mathematical inequalities, which impose lower and upper ...

How Well do We Understand the Planck Feedback?
A reference or “no‐feedback” radiative response to warming is fundamental to understanding how much global warming will occur for a given change in greenhouse gases or solar radiation incident on the Earth.
