Limits on Helioseismic constraints on the very central solar core

We show that although the observed frequencies of low l oscillation modes constrain the internal pressure density over the inner part of the sun they are not accurately enough determined to constrain the structure of the very central core. Models with a small convective core occupying the inner 5% of the radius cannot be ruled out.
