Scientific paper

Astroseismological methods were used to calibrate the white dwarf stage of stellar evolution. The internal structure of the white dwarfs can be investigated and the cooling rate determined. Comparing evolutionary models with the luminosity distribution of nearby white dwarfs makes a local determination of the age of the galactic disk population possible. The white dwarf pulsators have multiple and closely spaced periods which can only be determined from continuous photometry covering several nights of observing. A campaign involving observatories around the world was initiated, and results are presented.
