TLDR
The fourth international LTE opacity workshop and code comparison study, WorkOp-IV, was held in Madrid in 1997 as mentioned in this paper, with a focus on iron opacities, and the astrophysically important photon absorption region between 50 and 80 eV was emphasized for a sequence of iron plasmas at densities and temperatures that produce nearly the same average ionization stage (Z ∗ ∼8.6).
Abstract
The fourth international LTE opacity workshop and code comparison study, WorkOp-IV, was held in Madrid in 1997. Results of this workshop are summarized with a focus on iron opacities. In particular, the astrophysically important photon absorption region between 50 and 80 eV is emphasized for a sequence of iron plasmas at densities and temperatures that produce nearly the same average ionization stage (Z ∗ ∼8.6) . Experimental data that addressed this spectral region is also reviewed.

The effect of line-broadening on the overall width of transition arrays in dense plasmas

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the plasma environment on the absorption spectrum was investigated using the HELEN laser to measure absorption spectra in the temperature range 20-60eV and density range 0.5-3g/cm3.

SEMILLAC II: A new model for spectral behavior of hot plasmas

TL;DR: In this article, a new model developed to be used with radiation-hydrodynamic codes is presented, based on a limited set of detailed MCDF calculations, extended to a wider set of atomic configurations using simple algebraic relations.
