Abstract

Iron opacity predictions over an extended spectral range are obtained with a model using Opacity Project atomic data for conditions within the solar convective zone. These predictions are compared with the published results of a laboratory experiment using a laser-plasma backlighter. The effect of differing line-broadening treatments on monochromatic and the Rosseland mean opacity is also investigated.
