ABSTRACT

Canuto 1970

Canuto, V., 1970: Electrical conductivity and conductive opacity of a relativistic electron gas. Astrophys. J., 159, 641-652.

The electrical conductivity and the conductive opacity are computed for a system of relativistic degenerate electrons in the presence of ions. In the density-temperature range we are interested, in 106 ≤ ρ ≤ 1012 (g/cm3), 105 T ≤ 109 °K, the ion-ion interaction is taken into account by means of the pair-correlation function. The numerical values of the electron conduction opacities are given for different values of the parameter Γ, which characterizes the strength of the ion-ion interaction, and for different values of 2 ≤ Z ≤ 26.
