Opacity Effects on Pulsations of Main-Sequence A-Type Stars

open access: yesAtoms, 2018
Opacity enhancements for stellar interior conditions have been explored to explain observed pulsation frequencies and to extend the pulsation instability region for B-type main-sequence variable stars.

An Expanded Set of Los Alamos OPLIB Tables in MESA: Type-1 Rosseland-mean Opacities and Solar Models

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a set of 1194 Type-1 Rosseland-mean opacity tables for four different metallicity mixtures. These new Los Alamos OPLIB atomic radiative opacity tables are an order of magnitude larger in number than any previous opacity table release, and span

Analytical expressions for radiative opacities of low Z plasmas

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2010
In this work we obtain analytical expressions for the radiative opacity of several low Z plasmas (He, Li, Be, and B) in a wide range of temperatures and densities. These formulas are obtained by fitting the proposed expression to mean opacities data calculated by using the code ABAKO/ RAPCAL. This code computes the radiative properties of plasmas, both

New single-valued-parameters radiative accelerations of Sc and Ni for modelling stellar interiors

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The precise evaluation of the radiative accelerations of chemical elements in stars is critical since these accelerations are often the principal contributor to atomic diffusion. Atomic diffusion causes the migration of elements inside stars and

Irradiated Atmospheres. III. Radiative-convective-mixing Equilibrium for Nongray Picket-fence Model

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The nongray picket-fence model predicts more accurately the temperatures in low-density regions compared to semigray models. This study investigates how the vertical-mixing and convection fluxes modify the picket-fence model.

The Opacity Project: R-Matrix Calculations for Opacities of High-Energy-Density Astrophysical and Laboratory Plasmas

open access: yesAtoms
Accurate determination of opacity is critical for understanding radiation transport in both astrophysical and laboratory plasmas. We employ atomic data from R-Matrix calculations to investigate radiative properties in high-energy-density (HED) plasma ...

Important consequences of atomic diffusion inside main-sequence stars: opacities, extra-mixing, oscillations

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Atomic diffusion, including the effects of radiative accelerations on individual elements, leads to important variations of the chemical composition inside stars.

Estimation of the radiation budget during MOSAiC based on ground-based and satellite remote sensing observations [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics
An accurate representation of the radiation budget is essential for investigating the impact of clouds on the climate system, especially in the Arctic, an environment highly sensitive to complex and rapid environmental changes.

Radiative opacity tables for 40 stellar mixtures

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 1976
Using improved methods, radiative opacities for 40 mixtures of elements are given for use in calculations of stellar structure, stellar evolution, and stellar pulsation. The major improvements over previous Los Alamos data are increased iron abundance in the composition, better allowance for the continuum depression for bound electrons, and corrections

Physical Retrieval of Rain Rate from Ground-Based Microwave Radiometry

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Because of its clear physical meaning, physical methods are more often used for space-borne microwave radiometers to retrieve the rain rate, but they are rarely used for ground-based microwave radiometers that are very sensitive to rainfall.
