FAMIAS (Frequency Analysis and Mode Identification for AsteroSeismology) is a collection of state-of-the-art software tools for the analysis of photometric and spectroscopic time series data. It is one of the deliverables of the Work Package NA5: Asteroseismology of the European Coordination Action in Helio- and Asteroseismology (HELAS1 ). Two main sets of tools are incorporated in FAMIAS. The first set allows to search for pe- riodicities in the data using Fourier and non-linear least-squares fitting algorithms. The other set allows to carry out a mode identification for the detected pulsation frequencies to deter- mine their pulsational quantum numbers, the harmonic degree, ℓ, and the azimuthal order, m. For the spectroscopic mode identification, the Fourier parameter fit method and the moment method are available. The photometric mode identification is based on pre-computed grids of atmospheric parameters and non-adiabatic observables, and uses the method of amplitude ratios and phase differences in different filters. The types of stars to which FAMIAS is appli- cable are main-sequence pulsators hotter than the Sun. This includes the Gamma Dor stars, Delta Sct stars, the slowly pulsating B stars and the Beta Cep stars - basically all pulsating main-sequence stars, for which empirical mode identification is required to successfully carry out asteroseismology. The complete manual for FAMIAS is published in a special issue of Communications in Asteroseismology, Vol 155. The homepage of FAMIAS2 provides the possibility to download the software and to read the on-line documentation.
