Description
Context. Solar-like oscillations have been observed by Kepler and CoRoT
in several solar-type stars, thereby providing a way to probe the stars
using asteroseismology Aims: We provide the mode frequencies of
the oscillations of various stars required to perform a comparison with
those obtained from stellar modelling. Methods: We used a time
series of nine months of data for each star. The 61 stars observed were
categorised in three groups: simple, F-like, and mixed-mode. The simple
group includes stars for which the identification of the mode degree is
obvious. The F-like group includes stars for which the identification of
the degree is ambiguous. The mixed-mode group includes evolved stars for
which the modes do not follow the asymptotic relation of low-degree
frequencies. Following this categorisation, the power spectra of the 61
main-sequence and subgiant stars were analysed using both maximum
likelihood estimators and Bayesian estimators, providing individual mode
characteristics such as frequencies, linewidths, and mode heights. We
developed and describe a methodology for extracting a single set of mode
frequencies from multiple sets derived by different methods and
individual scientists. We report on how one can assess the quality of
the fitted parameters using the likelihood ratio test and the posterior
probabilities. Results: We provide the mode frequencies of 61
stars (with their 1-σ error bars), as well as their associated
échelle diagrams.
