The Pulsation-Rotation Interaction: Greatest Hits and the B-Side

Abstract

It has long been known that rotation can have an appreciable impact on stellar pulsation --- by modifying the usual p and g modes found in the non-rotating case, and by introducing new classes of mode. However, it's only relatively recently that advances in numerical simulations and complementary theoretical treatments have enabled us to model these phenomena in any great detail. In this talk I'll review highlights in this area (the 'Greatest Hits'), before considering the flip side (or the 'B-side', for those of us old enough to remember vinyl records) of the pulsation-rotation interaction: how pulsation can itself influence internal rotation profiles.Comment: 8 pages; to appear in Proc.
