Abstract
AbstractAsteroseismology explores the interior of pulsating stars by analysing their normal mode spectrum. The detection of a sufficient number of pulsation modes for seismic modelling of main sequence variables requires large quantities of highprecision time resolved photometry. Robotic telescopes have become an asset for asteroseismology because of their stable instrumentation, cost‐ and time‐efficient operation and the potentially large amounts of observing time available.We illustrate these points by presenting selected results on several types of pulsating variables, such as δ Scuti stars (main sequence and pre‐main sequence), γ Doradus stars, rapidly oscillating Ap stars and β Cephei stars, thereby briefly reviewing recent success stories of asteroseismic studies of main sequence stars.
