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…
Which Hydrogen Balmer Lines Are Most Reliable for Determining White Dwarf Atmospheric Parameters?
Ross E. Falcon, G. A. Rochau, J. E. Bailey +4
Our preliminary results from laboratory experiments studying white dwarf (WD) photospheres show a systematic difference between experimental plasma conditions inferred from measure…
Direct asymmetry measurement of temperature and density spatial distributions in inertial confinement fusion plasmas from pinhole space-resolved spectra
T. Nagayama, R. C. Mancini, R. Florido +6
Two-dimensional space-resolved temperature and density images of an inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosion core have been diagnosed for the first time. Argon-doped, direct-dri…
Control and diagnosis of temperature, density, and uniformity in x-ray heated iron/magnesium samples for opacity measurements
T. Nagayama, J. E. Bailey, G. Loisel +5
Experimental tests are in progress to evaluate the accuracy of the modeled iron opacity at solar interior conditions, in particular to better constrain the solar abundance problem…
