Motivated by the results of CoRoT and based on the solar experience, we develop a new stellar scaling law for the intensity‐velocity amplitude ratio (gain) of resonant oscillations, which is a quantity independent of the excitation model. The comparison of our approach with observations gives new interesting results for the Sun as a star. Moreover, for a sample of three solar‐like stars observed by CoRoT, we found that our scaling law provides an explanation of the low observed luminosity amplitudes which is an alternative to non‐adiabatic effects (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
