Stellar Pulsation

A workshop was held in Tucson at the University of Arizona from March 12 through March 16, 1979 to furnish a forum for both theorists and observers to study and exchange ideas on some of the current problems in nonradial and nonlinear stellar pulsation.

Analyses of photometric time series obtained from the MOST, CoRoT and Kepler space missions were presented at the 20th conference on Stellar Pulsations (Granada, September 2011). These results are leading to a re-appraisal of our views on stellar pulsation in some stars and posing some new and unexpected challenges.

This outstanding thesis by Dominic Bowman provides a thorough investigation of long-standing questions as to whether amplitude modulation is astrophysical, whether it offers insights into pulsating stars, and whether simple beating of modes with stable amplitudes is unrecognised because of a lack of frequency resolution.
