In rapidly rotating stars Coriolis forces and centrifugal deformations modify the properties of oscillations; the Coriolis force is important for low-frequency modes, while the centrifugal deformation affects mainly p-modes. Here, we…
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…

We find that low-degree low-order g-modes become unstable in metal-poor low-mass stars due to the $\varepsilon$-mechanism of the pp-chain. Since the outer convection zone of these stars is limited only to the very outer layers, the…
