Abstract
A self-consistent hydrogen-like model of mean atom is proposed, in whi ch hydrogen-like wave functions are used to describe the discrete stat es of electrons and the quasi-classical approximation for continuum el ectrons. The model enables one to relatively quickly determine the bas ic characteristics of plasma for the given temperature and density. Th e equations of state and photon absorption coefficients are calculated for aluminum and gold in a wide range of temperature and density.
