A fair approximat ion to Table VI is
Gilmore’s equation of state can be approximated near T = 1, p/po = 0.1
by
Using this in (4.10) gives
c . Ultraviolet
The absorption in the ultraviolet is generally high at all tempera-
. .
tures. At lcrw temperatures, the absorption is mainly due to the Schumann-
Runge bands; at higher temperature (8000°) these are replaced by NO and
y, and at high temperature (12,000°) by photoelectric absorption in 0-,
