Scientific paper

Recent developments in asteroseismology are reviewed focusing on its major scientific goals, observational techniques, and the most prominent aspects of stellar physics which benefit from asteroseismology, and asteroseismological projects at La Silla. Asteroseismology analyzes the stellar structure using a frequency spectrum which makes it possible to determine characteristic periodic structures within the spectrum. Two observable quantities used for asteroseismological observations include brightness and velocity fluctuations induced by pulsations. The asteroseismology is considered to be a powerful tool for probing the internal structure and dynamics of stars.
