Further correction to the STARFORGE methods paper: Planck-mean dust opacities
Abstract
The model for the Planck-mean dust opacity P given in Appendix C of the STARFORGE simulations methods paper does not extrapolate well to low radiation temperature T rad, so we provide an updated calculation suitable for general use. We also clarify the role of the dust and radiation temperatures in setting the dust opacity, and provide code and calculations of the Planck- and Rosseland- mean dust opacity as a function of both the dust temperature T d and the radiation temperature T rad.
