Equation of state for dense hydrogen and helium: application to astrophysics

  • 1. University of Rostock, Institute of Physics, D-18051 Rostock (Germany)

Description

We present theoretical results for the equation of state of hydrogen and helium applying the chemical picture which treats the elementary charged particles (electrons, ions) and neutral bound states (atoms, molecules) on an equal footing. The chemical equilibrium for dissociation and ionization processes is solved accounting for nonideality corrections. We compare our results with experiments and other theoretical models and calculate pressures and temperatures in jupiter's interior
