Abstract
∞0 Bν(T ) χν dν ∞ 0 B ν(T )d ν · (1) This equation is correct, but the ratio of the integrals was referred to as “the inverse of the Rosseland mean mass extinction coefficient”. This is incorrect, because the Rosseland mean opacity includes dBν(T )/dT terms rather than Bν(T ). Instead, the ratio of the integrals is the inverse of the Planck reciprocal mean mass extinction coefficient (in line with the terminology used by Fleck & Canfield 1984). We can write this mean mass extinction coefficient as:
