Altair is the fastest rotating star at less than 10 parsecs from Sun. Its precise modelling a landmark for our understanding of stellar evolution with fast rotation, and all observational constraints are most welcome to better determine fundamental parameters this star. We wish improve seismic spectrum confirm $\delta$-Scuti nature used photometric data collected by Microvariability Oscillation...

We provide an introduction to the use of the spectral-element method (SEM) in seismology. Following a brief review of the basic equations that govern seismic wave propagation, we discuss in some detail how these equations may be solved numerically based upon the SEM to address the forward problem in seismology. Examples of synthetic seismograms calculated based upon the SEM are compared to data...

Except for specialists, planetary seismology refers first to Earth seismology, and stimulates thoughts about earthquakes, tsunamis, and all such rare and brutal events that everyone knows by experience and/or fears. According to etymology, seismology shakes and shocks our bodies and our minds. According to semantics, all languages make the difference between “superficial” and “deep” things, so ...
