THE RADIATIVE OPACITY OF STELLAR MATTER.

Abstract

Contents: the opacity problem (previous assaults on the barrier, outline of the calculation of opacity tables); wave functions (wave functions of free electrons, the computation of free electron wave funtions, bound states); self-consistent fields (the fermi-dirac statistics, the self-consistend field, the exchange potential); the opacity (determination of absorption coefficients and the rosseland mean opacity, conclusions' astrophysicaliimplications).
