Period spacing of gravity modes strongly affected by rotation. Going beyond the traditional approximation

Vincent Prat, Stéphane Mathis, François Lignières +2

Context. As of today, asteroseismology mainly allows us to probe the internal rotation of stars when modes are only weakly affected by rotation using perturbative methods. Such met…
