Forward modelling and the quest for mode identification in rapidly rotating stars

Asteroseismology has opened a window on the internal physics of thousands stars, by relating oscillation spectra properties to stars. Mode identification, namely process associating measured frequency corresponding mode geometry and properties, is cornerstone this analysis seismic spectra. In rapidly rotating stars identification challenging task that remains incomplete, as modes assume complex geometries regular patterns in frequencies get scrambled under influence Coriolis force centrifugal flattening. article, I will first discuss various classes emerge related period patterns, predicted ray dynamics, complete (non-)adiabatic calculations, or using traditional approximation rotation. These scale with structural quantities help us derive crucial constraints structure evolution these summarize amazing progress accomplished over last few years for deciphering gravity-mode pulsator spectra, recent developments based machine-learning classification techniques distinguish pattern strategies let access underlying pressure-mode pulsators. approaches pave way ensemble asteroseismology classical Finally, highlight how can be combined improve forward modelling. focus example Rasalhague, well-known rapid rotator, illustrate needed advances obtain à-la-carte modelling such
