Parallel Implementation of the PHOENIX Generalized Stellar Atmosphere Program [PDF]
We describe the parallel implementation of our generalized stellar atmosphere and NLTE radiative transfer computer program PHOENIX. We discuss the parallel algorithms we have developed for radiative transfer, spectral line opacity, and NLTE opacity and ...

A systematic study on 2p → 3d radiative opacity of lowly charged Cu plasmas
The L-shell radiative opacity of lowly charged Cu plasmas is investigated using a detailed level accounting method. The transmission spectra are compared with a recent experiment at ∼16 eV and 0.005 g/cm3, and good agreement is observed. For a systematic

On the influence of opacity variation on spatial structure of radiative shocks [PDF]
We provide a theoretical analysis of Radiative Shocks, defined as supercritical shocks accompanied by an ionization wave in front of the density jump. In particular, we look at the influence of opacity variation with temperature and photon energy on spatial structure of radiative shocks, with a view to understanding a split precursor feature observed ...

Observational properties of peculiar core-collapse super-novae producing r-process elements [PDF]
We investigate the effects of r-process elements on the electromagnetic wave emission from peculiar core-collapse supernovae. We perform a series of radiative transfer simulations based on one-dimensional hydrodynamical explosion models. Varying the mass

The Inhomogeneity Effect. I. Inhomogeneous Surface and Atmosphere Accelerate Planetary Cooling
We propose a general principle that under radiative-convective equilibrium, the spatial and temporal variations in a planet’s surface and atmosphere tend to increase its cooling.

Improvements to Stellar Structure Models, Based on a Grid of 3D Convection Simulations. I. $T(\tau)$-Relations [PDF]
Relations between temperature, T, and optical depth, tau, are often used for describing the photospheric transition from optically thick to optically thin in stellar structure models.

Solar neutrinos and the influence of radiative opacities on solar models [PDF]
Use of new radiative opacities based on the hot Thomas-Fermi model of the atom yields a predicted solar neutrino flux which is still considerably larger than the flux observed in Davis's Cl-37 experiment.

Generation of a sharp density increase in radiation transport between high-Z and low-Z plasmas
A sharp density increase (referred to as density incrustation) of the Au plasmas in the radiative cooling process of high-Z Au plasmas confined by low-Z CH plasmas is found through the radiative hydrodynamic simulations.

Radiative transfer and the energy equation in SPH simulations of star formation [PDF]
We introduce and test a new and highly efficient method for treating the thermal and radiative effects influencing the energy equation in SPH simulations of star formation.
