Radiation burnthrough measurements to infer opacity at conditions close to the solar radiative zone–convective zone boundary by Hoarty, DJ, Morton, J, Rougier, JC, Rubery, M, Opachich, YP, Swatton, D, Richardson, S, Heeter, RF, McLean, K, Rose, SJ, Perry, TS, Remington, B

“…An increased radiative opacity of the solar mixture, in particular iron, is a possible explanation for the disagreement in the position of the solar convection zone-radiative zone boundary as measured by helioseismology and predicted by modeling using the most recent photosphere analysis of the elemental composition. …”

A proposal to measure iron opacity at conditions close to the solar convective zone-radiative zone boundary by Hoarty, D, Morton, J, Jeffery, M, Pattison, L, Wardlow, A, Mangles, S, Rose, S, Iglesias, C, Opachich, K, Heeter, R, Perry, T

“…A major problem in stellar modelling is the discrepancy between solar models and helioseismology data in the position of the convective zone-radiative zone boundary in the sun. …”
