Hi Josiah,


It's a carbon-oxygen white dwarf with a smattering of other elements at the percent level, particularly iron.  You're right that I'm using OP monochromatic opacities.


Cheers,


Michael

Hi Michael,


Does anyone know what might be causing these discontinuities around T=6960 and rho=2.3e-6?  I don't get any errors from OP.  I'm diving into the tables, but thought that I should ask here before diving too deep.

What does the composition look like in this region?

Josiah
