Abstract

At the time to submit papers for these proceedings, CoRoT will be launched in less than one month. The scientific programme, the instrument and the mission profile have been described in several places recently (e.g., Baglin et al. 2006, Michel et al. 2006a) and a dedicated volume (Fridlund et al. 2006) has been published, where these aspects are commented on in detail. In the present paper, we focus on a description of the nature and quality of the data expected from the CoRoT seismology observational programme. We thus first review a few specific aspects of the CoRoT instrument and mission profile necessary to have a clear idea of the nature and quantity of the data to come. Then, we produce data simulations for selected targets to illustrate the expected performance. In particular, we consider classical pulsators, extending the work initiated by Michel et al. (2006a) with solar-like pulsators.
