The authors have calculated the flux of neutrinos and antineutrinos of all flavors from various thermal processes occurring in the solar core. They find that the transition of electrons from free states to atomic bound states accompanied by Z0 emission, is the dominant mechanism of neutrino pair emission in the keV range. Other processes they investigate include Compton production, plasmon decay, and pair emission from thermally populated nuclear states. Their results add to the terrestrial neutrino spectrum for each flavor a prominent peak at about 1 keV, with a flux density comparable to that of the pp electron neutrino peak. These thermal neutrinos carry important information on the solar core temperature and chemical composition and on heavy-flavor neutrino masses. The authors discuss resonant absorption of electron antineutrinos as a possible detection method.
