Basic issues and concepts: oscillation mode, identification of modes, seismic model of a star,
evolutionary period changes. Helioseismology: short history, properties of solar oscillations,
asymptotic relations, principles of helioseismic inversion, inversion for solar rotation and solar
structure. Heat driven pulsators: δ Scuti stars, β Cephei stars, Slowly Pulsating B-type (SPB)
stars, γ Doradus stars, constraints on: rotational profile, element mixing processes, efficiency
of convection, opacity data. Compact pulsators: white dwarfs (WD: DAV, DBV, DOV), hot
subdwarfs (sdB, sdO), WD and sdB pulsators as a boundary condition for stellar evolution
theory, WD pulsators as Galactic chronometers, WD pulsators as cosmic laboratories for
fundamental physics. Solar-like pulsators: asteroseismic diagnostic signatures, asteroseismic
diagram, scaling relations, main sequence stars, subgiants, red giants.
