Mode Selection and Other Nonlinear Phenomena in Stellar Oscillations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Nonlinear effects determining the amplitudes of unstable modes of oscillations in stellar modes, are reviewed. The two basic processes - saturation of the driving mechanism and resonant mode coupling - are discussed within the framework of the amplitude equation formalism. There are difficult problems in the theory of multiple mode interaction that must be solved to make a prediction of amplitude spectra possible. The observed spectra for δ Scu stars and other multiperiodic variables, exhibit no simple pattern that would suggest a solution of the theoretical problems.
