Abstract
AbstractAsteroseismology of white dwarf stars has led to a number of interesting results pertaining to the long term evolution and present state of white dwarf interiors. I will review recent results and will give a not necessarily comprehensive view of the prospects for further progress in this area. Two – but only two white dwarf stars - have shown the expected cooling as they age. Careful observations of a few white dwarfs with rich pulsational properties reveal interior compositions as well as the thickness of their surface layers. A few very well observed stars have revealed changes in their pulsational spectra which we don’t understand yet.
