And Astrophysics Opacity Eeects on the Solar Interior I. Solar Structure

چکیده
Despite recent major advances, the opacity remains a source of substantial uncertainty in the calculation of solar models, and hence of solar oscillation frequencies. Hence it is of substantial interest to investigate the sensitivity of solar structure to changes in the opacity. Furthermore, we may hope from the precise helioseismic inferences of solar structure to obtain information about possible corrections to the opacities used in the model calculation. Here we carry out detailed calculations of the innuence on solar models of changes in the opacity, including also evolutionary eeects. We nd that over the relevant range the response of the model is approximately linear in the opacity change, allowing the introduction of opacity kernels relating a general opacity change to the corresponding model changes. Changes in the convection zone can be characterized entirely by the change in the initial composition and mixing length required to calibrate the model.

High-precision calculations of a series of standard models of the internal structure of the Sun using diierent opacity tables are presented. The models are compared on the basis of two key parameters-helium abundance and speciic entropy in the convection zone. The eeect of opacity on these two parameters in the radiative interior of the Sun is studied. Comparison of standard models calculated u...

The damages and logical failures in dierent parts of a satellite may occur during a solar event, when a bulk of solar energetic particles approaching the Earth. During solar events, these particles may cause extensive damages which are even permanent (hard errors). A way of damage reduction is designing a proper coating as the fuselage. As protons are the major component of solar particles and ...
