[en] One of the main goal of the CoRoT experiment is to determine the internal rotation of stars. A seismic measure of rotation requires the detection and an accurate measurement of rotational splittings. Our ability to achieve this goal with CoRoT observations depends on the properties of the target star (in short: spectral type and distance) and will be discussed.
