Michael T. Lederer

For those who do not like the restrictive data format of CDS but rather want to have the opacity tables from Lederer & Aringer 2009 in a more readable and perhaps more usable (with existing codes) format comparable to OP, OPAL, Alexander & Ferguson etc.: Feel free to grab the tarball of Rosseland opacity tables.
