Rayleigh scattering treatment
The appendix to this paper has a nice discussion of Rayleigh scattering. We could use this to improve our treatment.

ABSTRACT: We present a new, publicly available set of Los Alamos OPLIB opacity
tables for the elements hydrogen through zinc. Our tables are computed using
the Los Alamos ATOMIC opacity and plasma modeling code, and make use of
atomic structure calculations that use fine-structure detail for all the elements
considered. Our equation of state model, known as ChemEOS, is based on the
minimization of free energy in a chemical picture and appears to be a reasonable
and robust approach to determining atomic state populations over a wide range
of temperatures and densities. In this paper we discuss in detail the calculations
that we have performed for the 30 elements considered, and present some
comparisons of our monochromatic opacities with measurements and other
opacity codes. We also use our new opacity tables in solar modeling calculations
and compare and contrast such modeling with previous work.
