Description
I will perform a quantitative analysis of the solar abundance
problem. I will discuss the properties of the Sun that can be constrained
by solar neutrino fluxes and helioseismic observables. I will consider,
in particular, the helioseismic and neutrino constraints on the opacity
profile of the Sun and the degeneracy between effects produced by
chemical composition and opacity modifications. I will then comment on
the importance of neutrinos produced within the CN-NO cycle (CNO and
ecCNO neutrinos) and on the perspectives for their detection.
