Acoustic modes of oscillation are affected by stellar activity, however it is unclear how starspots contribute to these changes. Here we investigate the nonmagnetic effects of starspots on global modes with angular degree $\ell \leq 2$ in…

Using the Two-dimensional Oscillation Program (TOP), we have explored the effects of rapid rotation on gravity modes in polytropic stars. Coriolis force, centrifugal distortion as well as compressible effects have been taken into account.…
We study acoustic oscillations (eigenfrequencies, velocity distributions, damping times) of normal crusts of strange stars. These oscillations are very specific because of huge density jump at the interface between the normal crust and the…
Radial and nonradial oscillations offer the opportunity to investigate the interior properties of stars. We use 2D stellar models and a 2D finite difference integration of the linearized pulsation equations to calculate non-radial…
