A comparison of three neodymium atomic data sets for kilonova modeling

Christopher J. Fontes, Nicholas Vieira, Chris L. Fryer +4

We examine the impact of input neodymium (Nd) atomic data on the light curves and spectra of kilonovae, probing the sensitivity of kilonova observables to the atomic physics of thi…

Collisional-radiative data for tokamak disruption mitigation modeling

Prashant Sharma, Christopher J. Fontes, Dmitry V. Fursa +6

Effective tokamak disruption mitigation is crucial for ensuring the safety and integrity of fusion power reactors. Accurate collisional-radiative (CR) modeling of a radiative plasm…

Hybrid collisional-radiative modeling for high-fidelity atomic kinetics

Prashant Sharma, Christopher J. Fontes, Mark Zammit +3

The fidelity of collisional-radiative (CR) models is critical for advancing our understanding of radiative properties and ionization balance in fusion plasmas. In this work, we pre…

The Future of Solar modelling: requirements for a new generation of solar models

Gael Buldgen, Gloria. Canocchi, Arthur. Le Saux +22

Helioseismology and solar modelling have enjoyed a golden era thanks to decades-long surveys from ground-based networks such as for example GONG, BiSON, IRIS and the SOHO and SDO s…

An Expanded Set of Los Alamos OPLIB Tables in MESA: Type-1 Rosseland-mean Opacities and Solar Models

Ebraheem Farag, Christopher J. Fontes, F. X. Timmes +11

We present a set of 1194 Type-1 Rosseland-mean opacity tables for four different metallicity mixtures. These new Los Alamos OPLIB atomic radiative opacity tables are an order of ma…

In-depth analysis of solar models with high-metallicity abundances and updated opacity tables

G. Buldgen, A. Noels, R. Scuflaire +10

Due to the high quality constraints available for the Sun, we can carry out combined analyses using neutrino, spectroscopic and helioseismic observations. Such studies lay the grou…

Review of the 10th Non-LTE Code Comparison Workshop

S. B. Hansen, H. -K. Chung, C. J. Fontes +3

We report on the results of the 10th Non-LTE code comparison workshop, which was held at the University of San Diego campus November 28 through December 1, 2017. Non-equilibrium co…

Seismic inversion of the solar entropy: A case for improving the Standard Solar Model

G. Buldgen, S. J. A. J. Salmon, A. Noels +9

The Sun is the most constrained and well-studied of all stars. As a consequence, the physical ingredients entering solar models are used as a reference to study all other stars obs…

A New Generation of Los Alamos Opacity Tables

J. Colgan, D. P. Kilcrease, N. H. Magee +6

We present a new, publicly available, set of Los Alamos OPLIB opacity tables for the elements hydrogen through zinc. Our tables are computed using the Los Alamos ATOMIC opacity and…
