Description
We present the results of a statistical study of solar-like oscillations in red-giant stars observed with CoRoT in its exoplanet field during the first long run (LRc01) when the satellite was pointed towards the galactic centre. From the approximately 11400 stars observed, the giants are selected using infrared colours (not dereddened) and the solar-like oscillation signature (a broad envelope with oscillation power at frequencies below 120 microHz). This oscillation power is either detected by a semi-automatic procedure (sap), or by a manual inspection by eye (man).
