Aims: As g-mode pulsators, gamma-Doradus-class stars may naively be expected to show a large number of modes. Taking advantage of the long photometric time-series generated by the Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI) instrument, we have…

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…

Space missions have produced an incredibly large database on pulsating stars. The light curves via the frequency content contain a detailed description of each star. The critical point is the identification of modes, especially in the…

The analysis of a dense time-series on V974 Oph disclosed the rich pulsational content (at least five independent terms) of this high-amplitude (0.60 mag in B-light) Delta Sct star. A mode with a frequency very close to the main one…

The first asteroseismic studies of pre-main sequence (pre-MS) pulsators have been conducted based on data from the space telescopes MOST and CoRoT with typical time bases of less than 40 days. With these data, a relation between the…

$\delta$ Scuti stars are hot, rapid rotators and are a poorly understood class of pulsators. Asteroseismology provides the only means with which to probe their interior dynamics. However, their complex and unexplained oscillation patterns…

We present a comprehensive seismic study of the three pulsating stars of $\beta$ Cep/SPB type: $\nu$ Eridani, 12 Lacertae and $\gamma$ Pegasi. Models with the modified mean opacity profile are constructed in order to account for both the…

We present possible explanations of pulsations in early B-type main sequence stars which arise purely from the excitation of gravity modes. There are three stars with this type of oscillations detected from the BRITE light curves: $\kappa$…

Many stars exhibit stellar pulsations, favoring them for asteroseismic analyses. Interpreting the oscillations requires some knowledge of the oscillation mode geometry (spherical degree, radial and azimuthal orders). The delta Scuti stars…
