Comments on "The impact of Solar magnetic field configurations on the production of gamma rays at the Solar disk'' (arXiv:2512.01403)

Abstract

In this short comment, I discuss the relationship between the results presented in arXiv:2512.01403 and those previously published in Phys.~Rev.~D~101,~083011~(2020). The 2020 study provides a full Monte Carlo simulation of cosmic-ray interactions with the solar atmosphere using the FLUKA code, including realistic solar-atmosphere models, PFSS/Parker/BIFROST magnetic-field configurations, and predictions for gamma rays, electrons, positrons, neutrons, and neutrinos. Given the substantial scientific overlap -- particularly in the modelling of hadronic interactions, magnetic-field effects, cascade development, and comparison with Fermi-LAT observations -- a direct comparison is relevant to assess consistency and complementarity. Here I summarize the main points of agreement, highlight differences in modeling assumptions, and outline how the two approaches can jointly contribute to understanding high-energy emission from the solar disk.
