Introduction to Asteroseismology of δ Scuti Stars

  • Chapter
Variable Stars as Essential Astrophysical Tools

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASIC,volume 544))

Abstract

The purpose of asteroseismology is not only to derive the internal structure of individual stars from their observed oscillation frequen­cies, but also to test and extend our understanding of the physics of matter under the extremes of temperature, density, and pressure found in stellar interiors. Here I will discuss what we can learn about the Sun by studying δ Scuti stars, as well as what we can learn about stars more massive or evolved than the Sun. I will discuss some of the difficulties in theoretical approaches to asteroseismology for 8 Scuti stars, using FG Virginis, δ Scuti, and CD –24° 7599 (also known as XX Pyxidis) as examples.
