Abstract Planck mean absorption cross-sections have been computed for spherical grains composed of graphite, iron, ice, olivine, amorphous quartz and a lunar silicate. Experimentally determined infrared optical constants have been used for all these materials. Ice mantle particles and planetesimal particles (iron core and olivine mantle) have also been considered with values of outer and inner radii covering a wide range of astrophysical conditions. The results given both graphically and in a tabular form are discussed and compared with those of other authors. The relationships of mantle and core properties are also critically discussed.
