Scientific paper

Opacity for stellar matter is of fundamental importance in the study of many basic problems of stellar physics, such as the stellar structure, evolution, and oscillations. The physical processes which determine the stellar opacity are briefly introduced, and the history of the widely used opacity data, LAOL, is reviewed, laying special emphasis upon its applications to problems of the stellar structure and pulsations, which have been solved and have not been solved. Then the newly published opacity data, OPAL, are discussed concerning its physical improvements over the LAOL and its successful applications to problems which can not be solved by the LAOL, and the still unsolved problems in the stellar physics are mentioned as well.
