ABSTRACT:An effective absorption cross section per hydrogen atom has been calculated as a function of energy in the 0.03-10 keV range using the most recent
atomic cross section and cosmic abundance data.
Coefficients of a piecewise
polynomial fit to the numerical results are given to allow convenient application
in automated calculations.
