Description
The CoRoT and Kepler space missions have commenced a golden era in the
field of asteroseismology. The precise and long-term uninterrupted
photometric time series from space, now available for thousands of
stars, enable the detection of low-amplitude frequencies, revealing new
and surprising pulsational results. From the following overview of the
most remarkable observational results for A- and B-type pulsators it
becomes clear that space photometry is providing more questions than
answers, as the observational results often pose challenges for the
current pulsational models. Moreover, for these more massive pulsators
on the main sequence it has become clear that complementary ground-based
observations play a very important role in the interpretation of the
space data.
