The new solar abundances - Part II: the crisis and possible solutions
Abstract
Recent 3D, NLTE analysis of the solar spectrum (Asplund et al. 2006, Part I; Asplund et al. 2005) have led to a significant reduction of the CNO and Ne abundances leading to a (Z/X) 30% smaller than the previously recommended value. The corresponding decrease in opacity increases dramatically the discrepancies between the sound-speed derived from helioseismology and our new standard solar models (SSM). We present in this paper some numerical experiments trying to reduce this discrepancy.
