Title : Asteroseismic Investigation of the Chemically Peculiar Stars
Abstract Type : Invited
Abstract : Here, I present the ground based photometric and spectroscopic analysis of a set of chemically peculiar pulsating variables discovered from ARIES Nainital. For the asteroseismic study of these stars, the time-series photometric, high-resolution spectroscopic and spectro-polarimetric data were obtained from six telescopes located at different parts of the globe. Apart from the ground based observations, I also present results on the time-resolved photometric analysis of the few interesting pulsating stars observed by Kepler space mission. These observations are used to derive the various astrophysical parameters that help us to know their evolutionary status. Finally, I will present the preliminary instrumental design of a time-series CCD photometer for the side port of the 3.6 m telescope at Devasthal (ARIES) to study the asteroseismic investigation of the pulsating variables and the transient sources.
