Theoretical Investigations of the Equation of State for Stellar Interiors

虽然恒星内部模型大体上与观测结果一致，但日震学和星震学的结果开始显示出它们的不足。造成这些缺陷的一个主要因素是在构建模型时使用的状态方程的不确定性。将对状态方程进行改进计算以纠正这种情况。新的状态方程公式将在广泛的条件下有效，并将对行星和恒星内部的研究有用。＊＊＊

9315112 Dappen Although stellar interior models have generally been in satisfactory agreement with observation, the results of helio- and astero-seismology are beginning to demonstrate their deficiencies. A major contributor to these deficiencies is uncertainty in the equation of state used in constructing the models. Improved calculations of the equation of state will be performed to remedy this situation. The new equation of state formulation will be valid over a wide range of conditions and will be useful for studies of the interiors of planets as well as stars. ***
