We calculate accurate solar models and report the detailed time dependences of important solar quantities. We use helioseismology to constrain the luminosity evolution of the Sun and report the discovery of semiconvection in evolved solar models that include diffusion. In addition, we compare the computed sound speeds with the results of p-mode observations by BiSON, GOLF, GONG, LOWL, and MDI instruments. We contrast the neutrino predictions from a set of eight standard-like solar models and… Expand

SOLAR NEUTRINO EMISSION DEDUCED FROM A SEISMIC MODEL
Three helioseismic instruments on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory have observed the Sun almost continuously since early 1996. This has led to detailed study of the biases induced by the… Expand
Alive and well: A short review about standard solar models
Abstract.Standard solar models (SSMs) provide a reference framework across a number of research fields: solar and stellar models, solar neutrinos, particle physics the most conspicuous among them.… Expand
Helioseismological Implications of Recent Solar Abundance Determinations
We show that standard solar models are in good agreement with the helioseismologically determined sound speed and density as a function of solar radius, the depth of the convective zone, and the… Expand
Solar Models with Convective Overshoot, Solar-wind Mass Loss, and PMS Disk Accretion: Helioseismic Quantities, Li Depletion, and Neutrino Fluxes
Helioseismic observations have revealed many properties of the Sun: the depth and helium abundance of the convection zone, the sound speed, and the density profiles in the solar interior. Those… Expand
10,000 Standard Solar Models: A Monte Carlo Simulation
We have evolved 10,000 solar models using 21 input parameters that are randomly drawn for each model from separate probability distributions for every parameter. We use the results of these models to… Expand
Helioseismic and neutrino data-driven reconstruction of solar properties
In this work we use Bayesian inference to quantitatively reconstruct the solar properties most relevant to the solar composition problem using as inputs the information provided by helioseismic and… Expand
Seismic Test of Solar Models, Solar Neutrinos, and Implications for Metal-rich Accretion
The Sun is believed to have been the recipient of a substantial amount of metal-rich material over the course of its evolution, particularly in the early stages of the solar system. With a long… Expand

The Current State of Solar Modeling
TLDR
Data from the GONG project and other helioseismic experiments reveal subtle errors in the models, such as an excess in sound speed just beneath the convection zone, which is plausible that the sound-speed differences reflect weak mixing in stellar interiors. Expand
