Delta Scuti ($\delta$ Sct) variables are intermediate mass stars that lie at the intersection of the main sequence and the instability strip on the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram. Various lines of evidence indicate that nonlinear mode…

Radial pulsations of newborn neutron stars (protoneutron stars) are studied for a range of internal temperatures and entropies per baryon predicted by the existing numerical simulations. Protoneutron star models are constructed using a…
Observing Delta Scuti stars is most important as their multi-frequency spectrum of radial pulsations provide strong constraints on the physics of the stars interior; so any new detection and observation of these stars is a valuable…
Using linear non-adabatic pulsation analysis, we explore the radial-mode (p-mode) stability of stars across a wide range of mass (0.2 <= M <= 50 Msun), composition (0 <= X <= 0.7, Z=0.001, 0.02), effective temperature (3 000 <= T_eff <= 40…
In $\delta$ Scuti star models, the photometric amplitudes and phases exhibit a strong dependence on convection, which enters through the complex parameter, $f$, which describes the bolometric flux variation. We present a new method of…

Oscillation mode frequencies of stars are typically treated as static for a given stellar model. However, in reality they can be perturbed by time varying sources such as magnetic fields and flows. We calculate the sensitivities of radial…
