Scientific paper

One of the great success stories in stellar structure and evolution calculations is the standard solar model. Helioseismic techniques show that the models differ from the Sun by only fractions of a per cent. Recent claims that the solar heavy-element abundance is lower than what it was believed to be, has dramatically worsened the match between standard solar models and the Sun, and has led to speculation that the inputs needed to make solar models are incorrect. I shall discuss the problems caused by the claimed lower abundances and show that for the the low abundances to be correct, almost all inputs into solar models must be incorrect. In fact helioseismology data seems to suggest that low abundances are incorrect.
