Description
Post Main Sequence (post MS) stars keep a trace of their past main
sequence history. Typically, the presence or not of an Intermediate
Convective Zone (ICZ) above the H-burning shell of massive stars
critically depends on the details of the Main Sequence (MS) phase
modeling (convection criterion, mass loss,~...). We show here how the
excitation of g-modes in blue supergiant stars is closely related to
this ICZ, allowing to constrain different associated physical processes.
