Abstract
AbstractWe propose a pulsation driving mechanism for γ Doradus variable stars. This mechanism requires that the local convective timescale at the base of the envelope convection zone be comparable to or longer than the pulsation period. This mechanism explains both the red and blue edges of the γ Dor instability strip. We predict that some candidate γ Dor stars summarized by Handler (1999) may actually be too hot or too cool to be γ Dor variables.
