Stars more massive than about 1.2M are characterised by a convective core, which induces at its frontier a rapid variation of the sound speed and of the Brunt-Väissälä frequency, close to a discontinuity. We present preliminary results about the search of the signature this core could have on the p-mode spectra. For a set of frequencies of three stars of 1, 1.5 and 2 M, we study in particular the small frequency separation Δν0,2, ~ νn,l, νn-1,l+2 for high order and low degree oscillation modes, which is particularly sensitive to the interior of stars. We underline characteristic behaviours of the 1.5 and 2 M stars, through the comparison between computed frequencies and their approximation obtained by asymptotic and polynomial fittings, and also through second order quantities relatively to the frequencies.
