Gas phase mean opacities for varying (M/H), N/O, and C/O

2009 
We present a set of gas-phase Planck mean and Rosseland mean opacity tables applicable for simulations of star and planet formation, stellar evolutio n, disk modelling at various metallicities in hydrogen-rich environments. The tables are calculated for gas temperatures between 1000K and 10000K and total hydrogen number densities between 10 2 cm −3 and 10 17 cm −3 . The carbon-to-oxygen ratio is varied from 0.43 to well above 2.0, the nitrogen-to-oxygen ration between 0.14 and 100.0. The tables are calculated for a range of metallicities down to [M/H] ′ = log NM/NH = −7.0. We demonstrate how the mean opacities and the abundances of the opacity species vary with C/O, N/O, and [M/H] ′ . We use the element abundances from Grevesse, Asplund & Sauval (2007), and we provide additional tables for the oxygen-abundance value from Caffau et al.(2008). All tables will be available online under http://star-www.st-and.ac.uk/∼ch80/datasources.html.
