There have been recent downward revisions of the solar photospheric\nabundances of Oxygen and other heavy elements. These revised abundances along\nwith OPAL opacities are not consistent with seismic constraints. In this work\nwe show that the recently released OP opacity tables cannot resolve this\ndiscrepancy either. While the revision in opacities does not seem to resolve\nthis conflict, an upward revision of Neon abundance in solar photosphere offers\na possible solution to this problem.\n
Using the code AUTOSTRUCTURE, extensive calculations of inner-shell atomic data have been made for the chemical elements He, C, N, O, Ne, Na, Mg, Al, Si, S, Ar, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe a...
The solar photospheric oxygen abundance has been determined from [O I], O I, OH vibration-rotation and OH pure rotation lines by means of a realistic time-dependent, 3D, hydrody...
A solar photospheric "thermal profiling" analysis is presented, exploiting the infrared rovibrational bands of carbon monoxide (CO) as observed with the McMath-Pierce Fourier tr...
We reexamine closely the solar photospheric line at 6300 A, which is\nattributed to a forbidden line of neutral oxygen, and is widely used in\nanalyses of other late-type stars....
