Abstract

Low- and intermediate-degree (1=5-60) solar p-mode frequencies, which are sensitive to the solar structure near the bottom of the convection zone, are used to find the convection zone depth and to constrain the size and shape of composition gradients produced by diffusive settling of helium and heavier elements. We have calculated the evolution and nonadiabatic oscillation frequencies of solar models incorporating the latest Mihalas, Dappen, Hummer, and Mihalas (MHD) equation of state, OPAL opacities, and diffusion of hydrogen, helium, and several heavier elements
