Towards the understanding of the deepest layers of solar-like pulsators
Poster

Abstract
In this work we present information about some of the properties of the cores of solar-like pulsators obtained when studying their oscillation frequencies. We analyse two diagnostic tools suggested in the literature, that correspond to particular combinations of frequencies with different mode degrees, and we study the link between these tools and the inner properties of the stars. Moreover, we analyse the dependence of the frequency slopes of the diagnostic tools, hence some of the properties of the core, on the mass and overshooting. To perform this work we use stellar models and their computed oscillation frequencies.
