Description

After showing that the anelastic approximation is better than the subseismic one to filter out acoustic waves when studying low-frequency stellar oscillations, we compute gravito-inertial modes of a typical Gamma-Doradus star using this approximation. We show that eigenmodes can be regular or singular, according to the possible focusing towards attractors of the underlying characteristics. Consequences on the oscillations spectrum are then discussed.
