Abstract

In the present work we carry out an extensive study of the solar structure and solar evolution through the use of the TYCHO 6.92 code, which includes a variety of programs and subroutines. In this code we incorporate the most updated microphysical parameters such as screening, recent experimental measurements of the astrophysical factors-S (LUNA), several updated, recently measured, heavy element abundances, etc., and created new models describing crucial phenomena of the solar structure and solar evolution. We used this code to calculate and update nuclear reaction rates, solar neutrino fluxes, solar quantities which characterize the internal solar structure such as temperature, pressure, density, luminosity, heavy element abundances (4He, 12C, 14N, 16O, etc.) as well as sound speed profile and depth of the convection zone.
