Solar oscillation frequency and solar neutrino predictions

The global quantities of mass, radius, surface effective temperature, luminosity, and the internal composition structure are used to calculate a mass zone model employed in pulsation analyses. The construction of this model is done by integrating the equations of pressure balance and luminosity conservation from the surface to the center in one pass. Pulsation mechanisms are discussed, frequencies are compared with observations, and the frequencies of weakly interacting massive particles are analyzed. It is concluded that solar-oscillation frequencies are predicted to be very close to those observed, but solar neutrino-flux predictions continue to be much larger than observed. 33 refs
