TESTING THE IDENTIFICATION OF P-MODE FREQUENCIES IN SOLAR-LIKE STARS

摘要

The regular pattern that high n p-mode frequencies of solar-like stars show is used to design a method for a quick check to the identification of the modes. The case of a wrong mode identification or a spurious one is clearly shown by the method, which depends rather weakly on the possible stellar models. An application of the method shows evidences of misidentification in the recent frequencies of α Cen A suggested by Bouchy & Carrier (2002).
