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…

Solar Models with dynamic screening and early mass loss tested by helioseismic, astrophysical, and planetary constraints

Suzannah R. Wood, Katie Mussack, Joyce A. Guzik

The faint young Sun paradox remains an open question. Presented here is one possible solution to this apparent inconsistency, a more massive early Sun. Based on conditions on early…

Sound speed and oscillation frequencies for solar models evolved with Los Alamos ATOMIC opacities

Joyce A. Guzik, C. J. Fontes, P. Walczak +3

Los Alamos National Laboratory has calculated a new generation of radiative opacities (OPLIB data using the ATOMIC code) for elements with atomic number Z=1-30 with improved physic…

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…

Dynamic screening correction for solar p-p reaction rates

Katie Mussack, Werner Dappen

The solar abundance controversy inspires renewed investigations of the basic physics used to develop solar models. Here we examine the correction to the proton-proton reaction rate…

Exploring mass loss, low-Z accretion, and convective overshoot in solar models to mitigate the solar abundance problem

Joyce Ann Guzik, Katie Mussack

Solar models using the new lower abundances of Asplund et al. (2005, 2009) or Caffau et al. (2008, 2009) do not agree as well with helioseismic inferences as models that use the hi…
