a b s t r a c tWe report on our continued work to produce a new set of local-thermodynamic-equilibrium (LTE) opacity tables using the Los Alamos ATOMIC code. OPLIB tables for the 30 elements from H through Zn are almost complete and are expected to be available in 2015. In this paper we present some examples of our new opacities from ATOMIC. We provide comparisons of our opacities with a series of opacity measurements that were performed on Fe and Al some years ago. We also present opacities at conditions of interest to stellar modeling and compare and contrast the opacity of various transition metals with OP calculations that are commonly used in astrophysical modeling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
