Radiative opacity tables for 40 stellar mixtures

open access: bronzeThe 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

The link between outgoing longwave radiation and the altitude at which a spaceborne lidar beam is fully attenuated [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2017
According to climate model simulations, the changing altitude of middle and high clouds is the dominant contributor to the positive global mean longwave cloud feedback.

Adaptive Algorithm for the Generation of Superconfigurations in Hot-Plasma Opacity Calculations

open access: yesPlasma, 2022
In hot plasmas, such as the ones encountered in astrophysics or laser-fusion studies, the number of ionic excited states may become huge, and the relevant electron configurations cannot always be handled individually.

Quantum Molecular Dynamics calculations of radiative opacities [PDF]

open access: bronzeAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2003
We show that Quantum Molecular Dynamics provides a powerful tool to extend and benchmark current opacities libraries into the complex regime of warm dense matter. In this regime, the medium can be constituted of electrons, protons, atoms and molecules, while plasma and many-body effects can not be treated as perturbations.

Opacity Studies of Silicon in Radiatively Heated Plasma [PDF]

open access: bronzeThe Astrophysical Journal, 2008
Measurements of the opacity of silicon at high temperature and high density are reported. A silicon dioxide foam was heated by eight nanosecond laser beams while a backlighter X-ray source was produced with a picosecond laser. Absorptions of the 1-2 transitions of Si XII through Si VI were observed in the wavelength range from 6.6 to 7.1 A.

The Radiative Transfer in Accretion Discs with Linear Plank Function: Role of Scattering Effect [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2020
Radiative transfer in a geometrically thin accretion disc with fnite optical depth is considered under the plane-parallel approximation. The Eddington factor that is defned as the ratio of the mean intensity to radiation stress tensor, is assumed be ...

Opacities and Atomic Diffusion

open access: yesGalaxies, 2023
Opacity is a fundamental quantity for stellar modeling, and it plays an essential role throughout the life of stars. After gravity drives the collapse of interstellar matter into a protostar, the opacity determines how this matter is structured around ...

Photoejection from Various Systems and Radiative-Rate Coefficients

open access: yesAtoms, 2022
Photoionization or photodetachment is an important process. It has applications in solar- and astrophysics. In addition to accurate wave function of the target, accurate continuum functions are required.
