Helioseismology has provided very precise information about the solar internal sound speed and density throughout most of the solar interior. The results are generally quite close to the properties of standard solar models. Since the solar…

The current frontier of solar neutrino physics is the observation of CNO neutrinos. The signals of CNO and PP neutrinos are however entangled: In fact, the pp-flux can be known precisely only if CNO-flux is quantified; the interpretation of…
