Asteroseismology of stars on the upper main sequence

arXiv:1206.2147

Abstract

I review the properties of pulsators located on the upper main sequence in the HR diagram and discuss asteroseismic inferences on the internal structure of stars of spectral type A and B. Special attention is given to the problem of uncertainties in stellar opacities in modelling.
