A Quantitative Comparison of Opacities Calculated Using the Distorted- Wave and -Matrix Methods

F. Delahaye, N. R. Badnell, C. P. Ballance +7

The present debate on the reliability of astrophysical opacities has reached a new climax with the recent measurements of Fe opacities on the Z-machine at the Sandia National Labor…

Ipopv2: Photoionization of Ni XIV -- a test case

F. Delahaye, P. Palmeri, P. Quinet +1

Several years ago, M. Asplund and coauthors (2004) proposed a revision of the Solar composition. The use of this new prescription for Solar abundances in standard stellar models ge…

Comparison of Fe and Ni opacity calculations for a better understanding of pulsating stellar envelopes

D. Gilles, S. Turck-Chièze, G. Loisel +19

Opacity is an important ingredient of the evolution of stars. The calculation of opacity coefficients is complicated by the fact that the plasma contains partially ionized heavy io…

Iron and Nickel spectral opacity calculations in conditions relevant for pulsating stellar envelopes and experiments

D. Gilles, S. Turck-Chièze, M. Busquet +18

Seismology of stars is strongly developing. To address this question we have formed an international collaboration OPAC to perform specific experimental measurements, compare opaci…

Theoretical and experimental activities on opacities for a good interpretation of seismic stellar probes

S Turck-Chièze, G Loisel, D Gilles +23

Opacity calculations are basic ingredients of stellar modelling. They play a crucial role in the interpretation of acoustic modes detected by SoHO, COROT and KEPLER. In this review…

Radiative properties of stellar plasmas and open challenges

S. Turck-Chièze, G. Loisel, D. Gilles +24

The lifetime of solar-like stars, the envelope structure of more massive stars, and stellar acoustic frequencies largely depend on the radiative properties of the stellar plasma. U…
