Delta Scuti Stars: Theory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2017
Extract
The purpose of asteroseismology is not only to derive the internal structure of individual stars from their observed oscillation frequencies, but also to test and extend our understanding of the physics of matter under the extremes of temperature, density, and pressure found in stellar interiors. In this review, I hope to point out what we can learn about the Sun by studying δ Scuti stars, as well as what we can learn about stars more massive or evolved than the Sun. I will discuss some of the difficulties in theoretical approaches to asteroseismology for δ Scuti stars, using FG Vir, δ Scuti, and CD −24° 7599 as examples.
