Asteroseismology is a powerful tool to derive stellar ages, masses, gravities, radii, etc. Precise determinations of these parameters need deep analyses for each individual stars. Approximate theories are not efficient enough. Here I present results for two stars, μ Arae and ι Hor, which have both been observed during eight nights with the HARPS spectrograph in La Silla. I also show that important constraints can be obtained on core overshooting using the same techniques.
