Abstract

The standing oscillation in an isothermal semi-infinite plane-parallel atmosphere has a critical frequency. The significance of critical frequency in the stellar pulsation is discussed briefly. The critical period is calculated for the cepheid instability strip. A star having relatively large radius compared with the mass should be examined by the criterion. The pulsational instability is reduced by the linear running wave.
