Numerical models of fast radiation-mediated shocks and planar shock breakout show that including bound-free and bound-bound opacities from solar-composition heavy elements maintains local thermal equilibrium to higher velocities and reduces breakout emission temperatures by factors of two to ten.

Radiation Mediated Shock and Planar Shock Breakout in the Presence of Atomic Transition Lines
Numerical models of fast radiation-mediated shocks and planar shock breakout show that including bound-free and bound-bound opacities from solar-composition heavy elements maintains local thermal equilibrium to higher velocities and reduces breakout emission temperatures by factors of two to ten.
