The Workpackage Asteroseismology

Abstract. I present the "Asteroseismic Workpackage", a collection of software tools for the frequency analysis and mode identification of photometric as well as spectroscopic data of pulsating stars. The workpackage is currently in the stage of development and will be made available to the Asteroseicmic Community in a fully documented form end 2007. For the spectroscopic mode identification, the moment method as well as various methods based on the Doppler broadening of the line profile will be implemented. The photometric mode identification will be based on the method of amplitude ratios and phase differences in different passbands. Therefore, we require pre-computed grids with the frequency values and their non-adiabatic eigenfunctions in the outer atmosphere for different kinds of stars with kappa-driven oscillations covering the main sequence.
