Abstract

The analysis of the first solar-like targets done by CoRoT have shown that the oscillation amplitudes are about 25% below the theoretical amplitudes while the convective background is up to three times higher than in the solar case. In such conditions the Comb-like structure of the acoustic modes has smaller signal-to-noise ratios than initially expected complicating the characterization of individual modes. In the present work we apply the curvelet filtering plus a partial reconstruction of the signal from the obtaining spacing of the comb-like structure of the acoustic modes, to the solar-like targets already observed by CoRoT to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of the ridges in the echelle diagrams and we study how the analysis of the p modes can be improved.
