The recent research domain of asteroseismology refers to the study of the internal structure of pulsating stars through the interpretation of their frequency spectra. Asteroseismologists make great use of the oscillations to probe the stellar interior, which is not directly observable. The basic principles of asteroseismology are very much alike those developed by earth seismologists. No part of the Universe is more difficult to observe directly than the interior of the stars. The reason why stellar interiors can be probed from oscillations is that different oscillation modes penetrate to different depths inside the star. Asteroseismology is the only available method so far to derive the…
