Corot HD A.Thoul HD CONCLUSIONS We’ve got a problem! Modelling of the star using main high amplitude radial mode: l=0, n=1 out of 2 error box in HR diagram (log g too high) range of excited frequencies more or less OK l=0, n=2 in 2 error box but range of excited frequencies too low l=0, n=3 in 1 error box but range of excited frequencies much too low df/dt cannot be explained by evolution
Corot HD A.Thoul HD We’ve got a problem! Is log g correct? If yes, how can we have such high amplitude oscillations with high order radial modes? What about the excitation of the modes? What is the explanation for df/dt? Evolution? Resonant coupling? Is the star on MS or after TAMS? (1%)
