Abstract
Detailed abundances of elements from hydrogen up to iron are necessary to perform a precise model of the solar structure. Most of them have been deduced from photospheric observed values, some others from the meteoritic composition. Nowadays, thanks to helioseismic constraints, they seem more and more under control.
