Recent OPAL calculations have obtained significant differences in the
Rosseland mean opacities compared with earlier Los Alamos work. These
new opacities have had a favorable impact on several astrophysical pro
blems, but the efforts have concentrated on hydrogen main-sequence sta
rs or stellar envelopes. The present calculations consider carbon- and
oxygen-rich mixtures. It is shown that for such mixtures the Coulomb
corrections beyond the weak-coupling approximation are not negligible
in the ionization-balance calculations when Rosseland mean opacities a
re computed. As for hydrogen-rich compositions, the hydrogen-depleted
mixtures can show factors of 2-3 enhancements in the opacity compared
with the Los Alamos results at temperatures of a few hundred thousand
degrees. For temperatures above a million degrees there are opacity in
creases as well as decreases of approximately 20%, depending on densit
y. Tables of Rosseland mean opacities are provided that allow accurate
interpolation for compositions of arbitrary amounts of hydrogen, carb
on, and oxygen.
