This directory contains three FORTRAN codes (two in F90) that might be of
some use. Executable (.exe) files for Windows based PCs are also included.
These are: 1. GETEOS.F90, which computes the pressure and internal energy of a
gas consisting of an ideal gas plus radiation. It does the Saha equation to
get ionization. The effects of degeneracy are not included. With a little
extra work you can also find thermodynamic derivatives. See the program for
some documentation. The inputs asked for are temperature, specific volume
(1/density), X and Y (the hydrogen and helium mass fractions). The units are
cgs (as used in the main text). The outputs are pressure (P) and internal
energy (E). (A version of this code is used in ZAMS and it is due to Dean
Pesnell.) 2. GETKAPPA.F90, which computes the radiative opacity (a fit to
Cox-Stewart). The code includes the EOS of GETEOS.F90 because the electron
pressure is required. See documentation in the code. The inputs are
temperature, density, X and Y (the hydrogen and helium mass fractions).
The outputs are Z (metal mass fraction) and opacity. (This code is used in
ZAMS.) 3. CSOTEST.FOR computes Cox-Stewart opacities from a table (CS1970.dat)
by interpolating in temperature, density, and composition. The inputs are
log_10 (density), log_10 (temperature), and X and Y. You may wish to compare
the results from CSOTEST with those from GETKAPPA.

Note that some of you may have to convert the  .f90  FORTRAN into  .for
or  .f format (i.e., to go to fixed format for older compilers rather than free
format).
