Scientific paper

A linear adiabatic and non-adiabatic analysis of the quasi-toroidal modes of a uniformly slowly rotating star is presented and applied to chemically stratified DA white dwarfs. These modes are unstable for sufficiently high values of the rotation of the star and in some range of the effective temperature and of the amount of hydrogen in the outer envelope. The destabilizing mechanism and the instability strip are the same as for the gravity modes considered by Dolez and Vauclair (1981), but the growth rates are much smaller.
