Impact of Transport and Dynamical Processes Upon Stellar Oscillation Frequencies

Abstract

In order to prepare the theoretical interpretation of the oscillation frequencies detected by CoRoT, comparisons of results from standard stellar models by the ESTA group have proven to be very useful. The next issue which is briefly addressed here is “what are the additional physical processes that must be included in stellar models computed with different evolutionary codes for the next comparison exercises?” We therefore discuss the impact on oscillation frequencies of several physical processes which are still poorly understood and/or poorly modelled but cannot be fully discarded.
