The current state of seismology of δ Scuti stars is reviewed with particular emphasis on seismic signatures of the extension of their mixed central region and of rotation. We refer also to Goupil et al. (2000) and more generally to Breger & Montgomery (2000) for more details.

δ Scuti stars are population I pulsating stars with spectral type A-early F, located on or near the main sequence. They are found in the lower part of the classical instability strip in a HR diagram (Fig. 1). Masses range from ∼ 1.5M⊙ to ∼ 2.5M⊙ and δ Scuti stars are either in a stage of H-core or H-shell burning. On the main sequence, the high temperature sensitivity of the dominant CNO cycle causes a large convective core to develop, which later shrinks leaving behind a gradient ∇μ in the mean molecular weight.
