Description
The term overshooting is used to describe two situations: the chemical
mixing induced by the convective elements crossing the boundary given by
Schwarzschild's criterion (overshooting), or, in addition to that
mixing, the change in the temperature gradient in the overshoot region
when convection is efficient enough (penetration; Zahn 1991). We show
that for models with the same mass of the mixed central region the
oscillation frequencies are sensitive to the kind of overshoot treatment
adopted. This effect is especially obvious for SPB stars and is high
enough to be detected by CoRoT long run observations. That would imply
the possibility of disentangling penetration from overshooting.
