filou oscillation code
Abstract
The present paper provides a description of the oscillation code filou, its main features, type of applications it can be used for, and some representative solutions. The code is actively involved in CoRoT/ESTA exercises (this volume) for the preparation for the proper interpretation of space data from the CoRoT mission. Although CoRoT/ESTA exercises have been limited to the oscillations computations for non-rotating models, the main characteristic of filou is, however, the computation of radial and non-radial oscillation frequencies in presence of rotation. In particular, filou calculates (in a perturbative approach) adiabatic oscillation frequencies corrected for the effects of rotation (up to the second order in the rotation rate) including near degeneracy effects. Furthermore, filou works with either a uniform rotation or a radial differential rotation profile (shellular rotation), feature which makes the code singular in the field.
