Abstract

Abstract From models of the Sun atmosphere obtained with ATLAS 9 (Kurucz 1992) it appears that the diffusion limit of the transfer equation becomes valid only at depths larger than TR ~ 10. Even with physics as consistent as possible one restores the atmosphere with an accuracy not better than ~ 40%, but with small consequences on solar calibrated models. Despite the eigenmodes have turning points located in the atmosphere, the study of the oscillations reveals differences less than 2μHz when the atmosphere is restored with various assumptions.
