In the paper by Bahcall, J. N., Brown, L. S., Gruzinov, A., & Sawyer, R. F. 2002, A&A, 383, 291, the paper by Weiss, A., Fleiskamp, M., & Tsytovich, N. 2001, A&A, 371, 1123 was wrongly cited as suggesting a modification of the Salpeter formula for screening of nuclear reactions. The main point of the paper by Weiss et al. was actually to show that significant deviations from the Salpeter formula are strongly disfavored by helioseismology measurements.
