Helioseismology, solar models and solar neutrinos

Abstract

We review recent advances concerning helioseismology, solar models and solar neutrinos. Particularly we shall address the following points: i) helioseismic tests of recent SSMs; ii)the accuracy of the helioseismic determination of the sound speed near the solar center; iii)predictions of neutrino fluxes based on helioseismology, (almost) independent of SSMs; iv)helioseismic tests of exotic solar models.Comment: 11 pages with 6 ps figures included, procsla style, based on the talks presented at Neutrino Telescopes '99, Venice, February 1999, and at Valencia '99, Valencia, May 1999, to appear in the proceeding
