Several hypotheses have been advanced to explain these features: effective convection, rotation, non-linear interactions, etc. We have recently demonstrated that in some cases the underlying function describing the light variations of δ Scuti stars has not the property of being analytic. The strong consequence of this result is that the Fourier expansion on which the harmonic analysis is based could be not justified. In order to know the extension of this phenomenon among δ Scuti stars, we have used photometric data from CoRoT seismofield and a set of Kepler stars. The results show that this inconsistency in the application of harmonic analysis is almost ubiquitous to the δ Scuti pulsating stars.}, publisher = {EDP Sciences}, title = {Ultra-precise analysis of the light curves of CoRoT and Kepler δ Scuti stars}, author = {Pascual Granado, Javier and Garrido, Rafael and Suárez Yanes, Juan Carlos}, }
