Abstract

Intermediate mass pre-main sequence stars (1.5 to 5 M )cross the instability strip on their way to the main sequence.They are therefore expected to be pulsating in a similar way as the δScuti stars. In this review, I present the status of observational studies ofpulsations in these stars, and comment on prospects for futureinvestigations of these pulsations from the ground and from space.
