Abstract
First Compton scattering of photons in a hot partially degenerate plasma is discussed, correcting an error in the literature and avoiding two previously made approximations. An analytical fitting formula for the Rosseland mean opacity is given. Next the Compton scattering functions for neutrini are worked out which are needed in the study of neutrino transport in a supernova model.
