ON solar neutrinos and the method of spherically averaged rotation.

It is shown that the use of a spherically averaged rotation force results in a small underestimation of the neutrino flux in rotating stars, and an overestimation in solar models with a rapidly rotating core. The method of spherical averages is analyzed for uniformly rotating models and for rapidly rotating core models. Calculations for the first case result in a maximum 10% underestimation when only the surface of a single sphere is considered, and a 1% underestimation when the whole star is considered. Calculations for the second case indicate an overestimation of the neutrino flux when a spherically averaged rotation force is derived.
