Abstract
AbstractThis paper reviews our current knowledge about pulsating chemically peculiar (CP) stars. CP stars are slowly rotating upper main-sequence objects, efficiently employing diffusion in their atmospheres. They can be divided into magnetic and non-magnetic objects. Magnetic activity significantly influence their pulsational characteristics. Only a handful of magnetic, classical pulsating objects are now known. The only exceptions are about 70 rapidly oscillating Ap stars, which seem to be located within a very tight astrophysical parameter space. Still, many observational and theoretical efforts are needed to understand all important physical aspects and their interrelationships. The most important steps to reach these goals are reviewed.
