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.

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.

3D LTE spectral line formation with scattering in red giant stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We investigate the effects of coherent isotropic continuum scattering on the formation of spectral lines in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) using 3D hydrodynamical and 1D hydrostatic model atmospheres of red giant stars.

Radiative opacities for carbon- and oxygen-rich mixtures

open access: bronzeThe Astrophysical Journal, 1993
Recent OPAL calculations have obtained significant differences in the Rosseland mean opacities compared with earlier Los Alamos work. These new opacities have had a favorable impact on several astrophysical problems, but the efforts have concentrated on hydrogen main-sequence stars or stellar envelopes.

Important role of stratospheric injection height for the distribution and radiative forcing of smoke aerosol from the 2019–2020 Australian wildfires [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022
More than 1 Tg smoke aerosol was emitted into the atmosphere by the exceptional 2019–2020 southeastern Australian wildfires. Triggered by the extreme fire heat, several deep pyroconvective events carried the smoke directly into the stratosphere.

Instabilities in the Envelopes and Winds of Very Massive Stars

open access: yes, 2014
The high luminosity of Very Massive Stars (VMS) means that radiative forces play an important, dynamical role both in the structure and stability of their stellar envelope, and in driving strong stellar-wind mass loss.

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.

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

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.

A numerical model for multigroup radiation hydrodynamics

open access: yes, 2011
We present in this paper a multigroup model for radiation hydrodynamics to account for variations of the gas opacity as a function of frequency. The entropy closure model (M1) is applied to multigroup radiation transfer in a radiation hydrodynamics code.
