Ay123 Fall 2011 STELLAR STRUCTURE AND EVOLUTION Problem Set 4
... In this problem you will consider the opacity due to the negative hydrogen ion H− in stellar atmospheres. In cool stars, bound-free (photoionization) of this ion provides most of the opacity at wavelengths above the Balmer limit (λ = 3647 Å, below which opacity is due to photoionization of hydrogen ...
