Helioseismology and asteroseismology of red giant stars have shown that the distribution of angular momentum in stellar interiors, and its evolution with time remains an open issue in stellar physics. Owing to the unprecedented quality of…
In $\gamma$ Doradus stars, the g-mode period spacing shows an approximately linear relation with period. The slope is a new asteroseismic diagnostic, related to the rotation rate and the azimuthal order $m$. We report two automated methods,…
Asteroseismology has opened a window on the internal physics of thousands of stars, by relating oscillation spectra properties to the internal physics of stars. Mode identification, namely the process of associating a measured oscillation…
Asteroseismology with the space-borne missions CoRoT and Kepler provides a powerful mean of testing the modeling of transport processes in stars. Rotational splittings are currently measured for a large number of red giant stars and can…
The present paper aims at investigating the effect of rotation up to third order in the angular velocity of a star on p and g modes, based on the formalism developed by Soufi et al. (1998). Our ultimate goal is the study of oscillations of…
Hybrid $\delta$ Scuti-$\gamma$ Doradus pulsating stars show acoustic ($p$) oscillation modes typical of $\delta$ Scuti variable stars, and gravity ($g$) pulsation modes characteristic of $\gamma$ Doradus variable stars simultaneously…
The Kepler space telescope leaves a legacy of tens of thousands of stellar rotation period measurements. While many of these stars show strong periodicity, there exists an even bigger fraction of stars with irregular variability for which…
Gravity waves (or their signatures) are detected in stars thanks to helio- and asteroseismology and they may play an important role in the evolution of stellar angular momentum. Moreover, the observational study of the CoRoT target HD51452…

This thesis investigates in the time domain a particular class of second order perturbations of a perfect fluid non-rotating compact star: those arising from the coupling between first order radial and non-radial perturbations. This problem…
We study the r-modes and rotational ``hybrid'' modes of relativistic stars. As in Newtonian gravity, the spectrum of low-frequency rotational modes is highly sensitive to the stellar equation of state. If the star and its perturbations obey…
Several classes of stars (most notably O and B main-sequence stars, as well as accreting white dwarfs and neutron stars) rotate quite rapidly, at spin frequencies greater than the typical g-mode frequencies. We discuss how rapid rotation…
The presence of dips in the gravito-inertial modes period-spacing pattern of gamma-Dor stars is now well established by recent asteroseismic studies. Such Lorentzian-shaped inertial dips arise from the interaction of gravito-inertial modes…
Context. The seismology of early-type stars is limited by our incomplete understanding of gravito-inertial modes. Aims. We develop a short-wavelength asymptotic analysis for gravito-inertial modes in rotating stars. Methods. The…

Context. In asteroseismology the pulsation mode frequencies of a star are the fundamental data that are compared to theoretical predictions to determine a star's interior physics. Recent significant advances in the numerical, theoretical…
Linear perturbation theory is appropriate to describe small oscillations of stars, while a mild non-linearity is still tractable perturbatively but requires to consider mode coupling. It is natural to start to look at this problem by…
Stellar oscillations are an important tool to probe the interior of a star. Subdwarf B stars are core helium burning objects, but their formation is poorly understood as neither single star nor binary evolution can fully explain their…
Gravity modes in main-sequence stars have traditionally been studied using a prewhitening approach, which iteratively identifies modes in the Fourier domain and subsequently tunes their frequencies, amplitudes, and phases through…
