Abstract
AbstractA major driving force behind the efforts invested in stellar pulsation calculations in the recent years was certainly the success story of the new generation of opacity data. The new opacities did not only solve old problems but they also increased the complexity of quantitative stellar pulsation studies. Besides surveying the consequences of the new generation of stellar opacities for pulsation theory we also address more formal aspects of dealing with stellar oscillations. The section reviewing recent literature on the application of stellar pulsation theory to different classes of pulsating variables is strongly biased towards the high-luminosity part of the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram. We finish by mentioning recent changes in our beliefs concerning the envelope structure of oscillating white dwarfs.
