Abstract

We present our results concerning a systematical analysis of helioseismic implications on solar structure and neutrino production. We find Yph=0.2380.259_{ph}=0.238-0.259, Rb/R=0.7080.714R_b/R_\odot=0.708-0.714 and ρb=(0.1850.199)\rho_b=(0.185-0.199) gr/cm3^3. In the interval 0.2<R/R<0.650.2<R/R_\odot<0.65, the quantity U=P/ρU=P/\rho is determined with and accuracy of ±5\pm 5\permille~or better. At the solar center still one has remarkable accuracy, ΔU/U<4\Delta U/U <4%. We compare the predictions of recent solar models (standard and non-standard) with the helioseismic results. By constructing helioseismically constrained solar models, the central solar temperature is found to be T=1.58×107T=1.58 \times 10^7K with a conservatively estimated accuracy of 1.4%, so that the major unceratainty on neutrino fluxes is due to nuclear cross section and not to solar inputs.
