Abstract

We will study in this Project the effects of stellar rotation on the pulsation predictions for stars in the Main Sequence following the series Delta Sct, Gamma Dor, SPB, Be and Beta Cep. The rotation of the objects in this series span from a few km/s till hundreds of km/s. We are going to compare theoretical predictions with published data from the MOST and CoRoT satellites. A better diagnostic of the rotation effects will help to improve the oscillatory models.
