Strömgren integral

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Stromgen function)

In mathematics and astrophysics, the Strömgren integral, introduced by Bengt Strömgren (1932, p.123) while computing the Rosseland mean opacity, is the integral:

Cox (1964) discussed applications of the Strömgren integral in astrophysics, and MacLeod (1996) discussed how to compute it.
