Physical pictures for high energy density HED plasmas rely on models of the plasma
properties. For example, the inner structure of astrophysical plasmas such as stars is often …

Nearly a century ago it was recognized that radiation absorption by stellar matter controls
the internal temperature profiles within stars. Laboratory opacity measurements, however …

Hybrid CMOS (hCMOS) x-ray framing cameras are a new and powerful detector option for
experiments in the fields of Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) and High Energy Density …

The first systematic study of opacity dependence on atomic number at stellar interior
temperatures is used to evaluate discrepancies between measured and modeled iron …

An opacity model (OPAS) combining detailed configuration and level accounting treatments
has been developed to calculate radiative opacity of plasmas in local thermodynamic …

Calculations of equation of state, transport coefficients, and stopping power of dense
plasmas are presented. Theoretical results have been obtained using the first-principles …

We use machine-learning (ML) models to predict ion density and electron temperature from
visible emission spectra, in a high-energy density pulsed-power-driven aluminum plasma …

We present a brief review on the atomic kinetics, modeling and interpretation of
astrophysical observations, and laboratory astrophysics experiments. The emphasis is on …

Accurate models of X-ray absorption and re-emission in partly stripped ions are necessary to
calculate the structure of stars, the performance of hohlraums for inertial confinement fusion …

We present evidence for strong radiative cooling in a pulsed-power-driven magnetic
reconnection experiment. Two aluminum exploding wire arrays, driven by a 20 MA peak …
