Ricci %J Physics %D 1996 %I arXiv %R 10.1016/S0927-6505(96)00059-X %X In connection with the recent suggestion by Tsytovich et al. that opacity in the solar core could be overestimated, we consider the following questions: i) What would a 10\% opacity reduction imply for the solar neutrino puzzle? ii) Is there any hope of solving the solar neutrino puzzle by changing opacity? iii) Is a 10\% opacity reduction testable with helioseismological data? %U http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/9605153v1
