Description
The large frequency separation (∆ν) is a fundamental asteroseismic parameter that provides insights into the internal structure and evolution of stars. This study examines the estimation of ∆ν by comparing values derived from actual oscillation frequencies with those obtained through empirical scaling relations. We employ theoretical stellar models computed using MESA and determine oscillation frequencies with GYRE to assess the accuracy of the scaling relations. Additionally, we explore the impact of applying a mass and temperature-dependent polynomial correction factor to improve agreement between the two approaches. Our findings contribute to refining asteroseismic scaling relations for more precise stellar parameter estimations.
