Radially pulsating stars are shown to radiate fast and slow magnetoacoustic waves into the interstellar gas. No Alfven waves are excited, because the oscillations are radially symmetric. Calculations were performed for the following two limiting cases: hot, weakly magnetized interstellar plasma and cold plasma with a strong magnetic field. In these limiting cases, pulsating stars excite mostly fast magnetoacoustic waves, while the excitation of slow magnetoacoustic waves is weak. Magnetogasdynamic fields of density, velocity, and magnetic-field perturbations in the interstellar medium were found. Relations were derived to calculate the radiated power and its estimates are given for various conditions in the medium. It is shown that radially stratified wave structures with wavelengths from 1 AU to several tenths of a parsec must exist in the vicinity of pulsating stars.
