Excitation of stellar pulsations
arXiv:1201.0194
Abstract
In this review I present an overview of our current understanding of the physical mechanisms that are responsible for the excitation of pulsations in stars with surface convection zones. These are typically cooler stars such as the Delta Scuti stars, and stars supporting solar-like oscillations.
