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.
