Large systematic discrepancies between theoretical and experimental photon absorption of Fe plasmas applicable to the solar interior were reported [Bailey et al., Nature 517, 56 (2015)]. The disagreement is examined in the context of the Thomas–Reiche–Kuhn f-sum rule. Herein, te analysis identifies several anomalies in the experimental results.
