Abstract
We present a set of gas-phase Planck mean and Rosseland mean opacity tables applicable for simulations of star and planet formation, stellar evolution and disc modelling at various metallicities in hydrogen-rich environments. The tables are calculated for gas temperatures between 1000 and 10 000 K and total hydrogen number densities between 10(2) and 10(17) cm(-3). The carbon-to-oxygen ratio is varied from 0.43 to well above 2.0, the nitrogen-to-oxygen ratio between 0.14 and 100.0. The tables are calculated for a range of metallicities down to [M/H]' = log N-M/N-H = -7.0. We demonstrate how the mean opacities and the abundances of the opacity species vary with C/O, N/O and [M/H]'. We use the element abundances from Grevesse et al., and we provide additional tables for the oxygen abundance value from Caffau et al. All tables will be available online at http://star-www.st-and.ac.uk/similar to ch80/datasources.html.
