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