Yearslong time series of high-precision brightness measurements have been assembled for
thousands of stars with telescopes operating in space. Such data have allowed astronomers …

Asteroseismology has grown from its beginnings three decades ago to a mature field
teeming with discoveries and applications. This phenomenal growth has been enabled by …

Galactic history is written in the white dwarf stars. Their surface properties hint at interiors
composed of matter under extreme conditions. In the forty years since their discovery …

We present a summary of what is currently known about the three distinct families of isolated
pulsating white dwarfs. These are the GW Vir stars (He/C/O-atmosphere stars with T eff≃ …

We present the results of a search for amplitude modulation of pulsation modes in 983 δ Sct
stars, which have effective temperatures between 6400≤ T eff≤ 10 000 K in the Kepler …

Abstract There are many Slowly Pulsating B (SPB) stars and γ Dor stars in the Kepler
mission data set. The light curves of these pulsating stars have been classified …

Context. Empirical evidence for the involvement of nonradial pulsations (NRPs) in the mass
loss from Be stars ranges from (i) a singular case (μ Cen) of repetitive mass ejections …

Context. Slowly pulsating B (SPB) stars are main-sequence multi-periodic oscillators that
display non-radial gravity modes. For a fraction of these pulsators, 4-year photometric light …

Asteroseismology provides us with a unique opportunity to improve our understanding of
stellar structure and evolution. Recent developments, including the first systematic studies of …

This outstanding thesis by Dominic Bowman provides a thorough investigation of long-
standing questions as to whether amplitude modulation is astrophysical, whether it offers …
