Abstract

It is shown that the coincidence between the pulsation periods and the critical frequencies found by Fadeyev (1982) results from strong effects of non-adiabaticity on the linear pulsation periods in low surface gravity models. If we apply the boundary condition of running waves for super-critical pulsations, it is found that the linear growth-rates are considerably affected by the boundary condition.
