On the Accuracy of Solar Modelling
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The confrontation between theoretical predictions and observations requires an estimate of the uncertainties of these predictions. Recent results on nuclear reaction rates and photospheric abundances are analysed, in a classical model framework. The role of opacities in the determination of the helium content, the neutrino fluxes prediction and the adiabatic sound speed is discussed. Comments on extra phenomena as mass loss, turbulent mixing and WIMPS are also presented, in the light of very recent seismological results.
