Description
We solve the integral equation for the Compton scattering mean free path, in a partially degenerate electron gas at high temperature, where this process dominates the photon transport. We avoid two approximations which were made in previous calculations and correct an error in the literature. Finally we give an expression for the Rosseland mean opacity
