Modeling the Spectra of Dense Hydrogen Plasmas: Beyond Occupation Probability
T. A. Gomez, M. H. Montgomery, T. Nagayama +2
Accurately measuring the masses of white dwarf stars is crucial in many astrophysical contexts (e.g., asteroseismology and cosmochronology). These masses are most commonly determin…

Reaching Higher Densities for Laboratory White Dwarf Photospheres to Measure Spectroscopic Line Profiles
Ross E. Falcon, J. E. Bailey, T. A. Gomez +5
As part of our laboratory investigation of the theoretical line profiles used in white dwarf atmosphere models, we extend the electron-density () range measured by our e…
