Strömgren integral

In mathematics and astrophysics, the Strömgren integral, introduced by Bengt Strömgren (1932,p.123) while computing the Rosseland mean opacity, is the integral:

 \frac{15}{4\pi^4}\int_0^x \frac{t^7e^{2t}}{(e^t-1)^3} \, dt .

Cox (1964) discussed applications of the Strömgren integral in astrophysics, and MacLeod (1996) discussed how to compute it.
