On radiative opacities of dense plasmas
Abstract Besides advanced atomic data, the strong coupling effects are the key-stones for true radiative opacities and for the proper description of energy transport in dense matter. These opacities, which are sensitive to the ‘windows’ in absorption spectra, are discussed briefly in terms of strongly coupled plasmas (SCP) dielectric functions.

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.

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.

Planet migration: self-gravitating radiation hydrodynamical models of protoplanets with surfaces [PDF]
We calculate radial migration rates of protoplanets in laminar minimum mass solar nebula discs using three-dimensional self-gravitating radiation hydrodynamical (RHD) models.

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

3D Radiative Transfer for Exoplanet Atmospheres. gCMCRT: A GPU-accelerated MCRT Code [PDF]
Radiative transfer (RT) is a key component for investigating atmospheres of planetary bodies. With the 3D nature of exoplanet atmospheres being important in giving rise to their observable properties, accurate and fast 3D methods are required to be ...

The opacity of grains in protoplanetary atmospheres
We have computed the size distribution of silicate grains in the outer radiative region of the envelope of a protoplanet evolving according to the scenario of Pollack et al. (1996).

Radiative opacity tables for 40 stellar mixtures
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
