WSU Low Temperature Opacities
This page is a repository of opacity data based from the WSU opacity group, Prof. Ferguson et al. Each set consists of a tar/gzip'd file that includes the tables of Rosseland Mean Opacity for that set. The individual filenames include information about the various compositions, such as X = 0.7 and Z = 0.02 where X + Y + Z = 1.0. There are either 126 or 155 compositions (depending when tables were made) for each base composition.
In addition the abundances for the basic set for each composition is given. Depending on the composition source, the abundances are given in either log10 (n_H) = 12.0 units or number fractions.
