Comment on "Dynamic Screening..." by Opher and Opher

arXiv:astro-ph/9909272

Abstract

I have shown that the enhancement of fusion rates in stars due to electrostatic screening does not depend on the Gamow energy of the fusing nuclei (in the classical weak screening limit). Opher and Opher have recently published an ApJ paper claiming that my proof is wrong. I show here that their arguments are incorrect.
