Opacity Project: OPserver  
Rosseland mean opacities (RMOs) and radiative accelerations (RAs) for arbitrary chemical mixtures are computed online directly from the Opacity Project (OP) monochromatic opacities. The mixture is specified by the hydrogen (X) and metal (Z) mass-fractions (X+Y+Z=1) and its metal fractional composition (default = S92 of [4]). For detailed documentation please check the reference list below. The OP opacities were refined in December 2004 to include inner-shell contributions [10], and the OPserver software upgraded in June 2006 to enable local installations and library linking. The complete OPCD_3.0 package (data, codes and instructions) to compute locally RMOs and RAs [11] and to install the OPserver can also be downloaded from the OP home page.
