Abstract

We 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.

Abstract

This historical ethnography of Los Alamos, New Mexico is derived from over twelve years of participant observation and interview research in both the community at large and the National Laboratory (including several years as a Q-cleared employee working in security and intelligence), autoethnographic interpretation of my growing up (and subject-formation) in the town, and historical and archival research about the town (including the ancient and historical residents of the Pajarito Plateau, the Anasazis and Spanish colonists, the Manhattan Project, and post-World War II Los Alamos) and the work that is conducted there. Study of the social space of Los Alamos yields perspectives on the institutions of the scientific war state and on the effects of intense security upon a community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
