Modeling of the Continuous Absorption of Electromagnetic Radiation in Dense Hydrogen Plasma

Abstract

We investigate a new modeling way for describing the continuous absorption of electromagnetic radiation in a dense partially ionized hydrogen plasma with electron densities 5·1018-1.5·1019 cm-3 and temperatures 16 000–25 000 K, in the wavelength range 300–500 nm. The results can be applied to the plasma of partially ionized layers of stellar atmospheres.
