Extract

Ten years ago I put forward the suggestion that the Sun may possess a small burnt-out helium-rich core covering some 2-3% of its mass (Prentice 1973a,b). The purpose of this chemically inhomogeneous solar model was to account for the anomalously low flux of neutrinos being emitted by the Sun, as observed by Davis et al. (1971).
