harmonic frequency average of a material's opacity, weighted by the temperature derivative of the Planck function, that sets radiative energy transport in stellar interiors.

In astrophysics, Rosseland mean opacity refers to harmonic frequency average of a material's opacity, weighted by the temperature derivative of the Planck function, that sets radiative energy transport in stellar interiors. This meaning comes from Rosseland (1924) in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.[1]
