TLDR
In this paper, the Rosseland mean opacity of primordial nebulae has been calculated as a function of temperature and density for nebulas having solar elemental abundances, and the values of the mean opacity were evaluated with a generalized formulation allowing for anisotropic scattering.

The limiting effects of dust in brown dwarf model atmospheres

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an opacity sampling model for brown dwarfs and very low mass stars in the following two limiting cases of dust grain formation: (1) Inefficient gravitational settling (i.e., the dust is distributed according to the chemical equilibrium predictions) and (2) efficient gravitational settling, where the dust forms and depletes refractory elements from the gas, but their opacity does not affect the thermal structure).

Radiation Pressure-supported Starburst Disks and Active Galactic Nucleus Fueling

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the structure of marginally Toomre-stable starburst disks under the assumption that radiation pressure on dust grains provides the dominant vertical support against gravity.

Rosseland and Planck mean opacities for protoplanetary discs

TL;DR: In this article, the mean gas and dust opacities relevant to the physical conditions typical of protoplanetary discs were calculated for temperatures between 5 K and 10 000 K and gas densities ranging from 10 −18 gc m −3 to 10 −7 gcm −3.

Stellar, brown dwarf and multiple star properties from a radiation hydrodynamical simulation of star cluster formation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the statistical properties of stars, brown dwarfs and multiple systems obtained from the largest radiation hydrodynamical simulation of star cluster formation to date that resolves masses down to the opacity limit for fragmentation (a few Jupiter masses).

Calculations of the accretion and evolution of giant planets: The effects of solid cores

TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of the giant planets is calculated under the general hypothesis that the solid cores formed first, by accretion of small particles, and that these cores later gravitationally attracted their gaseous envelopes from the solar nebula.
