Central stars of extra-solar planetary systems are metal-rich. Planet accretion or initial high metallicity are two models proposed to explain this observational fact that can be tested with asteroseismology. We calculate two stellar models, one with accretion and one with high initial metallicity, in order to obtain the same external parameters for both of them. We then compare their internal structures and their oscillation frequencies.
