Work is in progress on the extension of a detailed stellar structure code to explore a suggested solution to the Solar Neutrino Problem where the Sun has a small (∼0.01M⊙) high-Z core on entry to the ZAMS. A basic premise of such models is that the core will burn itself out by solar age and the model acquire a neutrino luminosity in line with that observed. The work to date has involved the construction of a standard solar model and, currently, the development of inhomogeneous models with associated adjustments to the structure equations.
