Charge State Distributions in Dense Plasmas

J. White, W. Johns, C. J. Fontes +3

Charge state distributions in hot, dense plasmas are a key ingredient in the calculation of spectral quantities like the opacity. However, they are challenging to calculate, as mod…

Multiple Scattering Theory for Dense Plasmas

Charles E. Starrett, Nathaniel Shaffer

Dense plasmas occur in stars, giant planets and in inertial fusion experiments. Accurate modeling of the electronic structure of these plasmas allows for prediction of material pro…

New Conductive Opacities for White Dwarf Envelopes

Simon Blouin, Nathaniel R. Shaffer, Didier Saumon +1

Thanks to their continuous cooling and relative simplicity, white dwarf stars are routinely used to measure the ages of stellar populations. The usefulness of white dwarfs as cosmo…

Diffusion coefficients in the envelopes of white dwarfs

R. A. Heinonen, D. Saumon, J. Daligault +3

The diffusion of elements is a key process in understanding the unusual surface composition of white dwarfs stars and their spectral evolution. The diffusion coefficients of Paquet…

A Model of Electron Transport in Dense Plasmas Spanning Temperature Regimes

Nathaniel R. Shaffer, Charles E. Starrett

We present a new model of electron transport in warm and hot dense plasmas which combines the quantum Landau-Fokker-Planck equation with the concept of mean-force scattering. We ob…
