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

15 4 π 4 0 x t 7 e 2 t ( e t 1 ) 3 d t .

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