Announcement of FreeEOS-1.4.0
|
FreeEOS-1.4.0 has been released on 2005-04-22. The principal change to the
software is that older versions of FreeEOS used a spline fit to approximate
the Coulomb implementation introduced in this version of FreeEOS and
described in Paper III. This difference greatly
simplifies the programming and introduces
negligible change to the results. Also, the option suite previously
called EOS1 is now redesignated as EOS1a. The new EOS1 option suite is the
same as EOS1a except that small-abundance elements have their ionization
treated in detail rather than treated with the full-ionization
approximation. This makes
a small difference that might be significant
for solar oscillation calculations. Download the FreeEOS-1.4.0 tarball from
