Our understanding of stars through asteroseismic data analysis is limited by our ability to take advantage of the huge amount of observed stars provided by space missions such as CoRoT, Kepler, K2, and soon TESS and PLATO. Global seismic…
The power of asteroseismology relies on the capability of global oscillations to infer the stellar structure. For evolved stars, we benefit from unique information directly carried out by mixed modes that probe their radiative cores. This…

Identifying the angular degrees $l$ of oscillation modes is essential for asteroseismology and depends on visual tagging before fitting power spectra in a so-called peakbagging analysis. In oscillating subgiants, radial ($l$= 0) mode…

Spectroscopic data may often contain unwanted extrinsic signals. For example, in ARPES experiment, a wire mesh is typically placed in front of the CCD to block stray photo-electrons, but could cause a grid-like structure in the spectra…
Searching for combinations in the frequency spectra of variable stars is a commonly used method within the asteroseismological community, as harmonics and linear combinations of individual frequencies are expected to appear not only by…
In Helio- and asteroseismology, it is important to have continuous, uninterrupted, data sets. However, seismic observations usually contain gaps and we need to take them into account. In particular, if the gaps are not randomly distributed,…
