We review the present-day methods of mode identification applied to main sequence pulsators focusing on those that make use of multicolour photometry and radial velocity data. The effects which may affect diagnostic properties of these observables are discussed. We also raise the problem of identification of high degree modes which can dominate oscillation spectra obtained from space-based projects.

Pre-main sequence (PMS) stars evolve into main sequence (MS) phase over a period of time. Interestingly, we found a scarcity of studies in existing literature that examines and attempts to better understand the stars in PMS to MS transition phase. Th
e purpose of the present study is to detect such rare stars, which we named as Transition Phase (TP) candidates - stars evolving from the PMS to the MS phase. We identified 98 TP candidates using photometric analysis of a sample of 2167 classical Be (CBe) and 225 Herbig Ae/Be (HAeBe) stars. This identification is done by analyzing the near- and mid-infrared excess and their location in the optical color-magnitude diagram. The age and mass of 58 of these TP candidates are determined to be between 0.1-5 Myr and 2-10.5 M$_odot$, respectively. The TP candidates are found to possess rotational velocity and color excess values in between CBe and HAeBe stars, which is reconfirmed by generating a set of synthetic samples using the machine learning approach.
Pulsations in pre-main sequence stars have been discovered several times within the last years. But nearly all of these pulsators are of delta Scuti-type. gamma Doradus-type pulsation in young stars has been predicted by theory, but lack observationa
l evidence. We present the investigation of variability caused by rotation and (gammaDoradus-type) pulsation in two pre-main sequence members of the young open cluster NGC2264 using high-precision time series photometry from the CoRoT satellite and dedicated high-resolution spectroscopy. Time series photometry of NGC2264VAS20 and NGC 2264VAS87 was obtained by the CoRoT satellite during the dedicated short run SRa01 in March 2008. NGC2264VAS87 was re-observed by CoRoT during the short run SRa05 in December 2011 and January 2012. Frequency analysis was conducted using Period04 and SigSpec. The spectral analysis was performed using equivalent widths and spectral synthesis. The frequency analysis yielded 10 and 14 intrinsic frequencies for NGC2264VAS20 and NGC2264VAS 87, respectively, in the range from 0 to 1.5c/d which are attributed to be caused by a combination of rotation and pulsation. The effective temperatures were derived to be 6380$pm$150K for NGC2264VAS20 and 6220$pm$150K for NGC2264VAS87. Membership of the two stars to the cluster is confirmed independently using X-ray fluxes, radial velocity measurements and proper motions available in the literature. The derived Li abundances of log n(Li)=3.34 and 3.54 for NGC2264VAS20 and NGC2264VAS87, respectively, are in agreement with the Li abundance for other stars in NGC2264 of similar Teff reported in the literature. We conclude that the two objects are members of NGC2264 and therefore are in their pre-main sequence evolutionary stage. Assuming that part of their variability is caused by pulsation, these two stars might be the first pre-main sequence gamma Doradus candidates.
We determine instability domains on the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram for rotating main sequence stars with masses 2-20 $mathrm M_odot$. The effects of the Coriolis force are treated in the framework of the traditional approximation. High-order g-modes
with the harmonic degrees, $ell$, up to 4 and mixed gravity-Rossby modes with $|m|$ up to 4 are considered. Including the effects of rotation results in wider instability strips for a given $ell$ comparing to the non-rotating case and in an extension of the pulsational instability to hotter and more massive models. We present results for the fixed value of the initial rotation velocity as well as for the fixed ratio of the angular rotation frequency to its critical value. Moreover, we check how the initial hydrogen abundance, metallicity, overshooting from the convective core and the opacity data affect the pulsational instability domains. The effect of rotation on the period spacing is also discussed.
Gravitational redshifts in solar-type main-sequence stars are expected to be some 500 ms$^{-1}$ greater than those in giants. Such a signature is searched for between groups of open-cluster stars which share the same average space motion and thus hav
e the same average Doppler shift. 144 main-sequence stars and cool giants were observed in the M67 open cluster using the ESO FEROS spectrograph, obtaining radial velocities by cross correlation with a spectral template. M67 dwarf and giant radial-velocity distributions are well represented by Gaussian functions, sharing the same apparent average radial velocity within $simeq$ 100 ms$^{-1}$. In addition, dwarfs in M67 appear to be dynamically hotter ($sigma$ = 0.90 kms$^{-1}$) than giants ($sigma$ = 0.68 kms$^{-1}$). Explanations for the lack of an expected signal are sought: a likely cause is the differential wavelength shifts produced by different hydrodynamics in dwarf and giant atmospheres. Radial-velocity differences measured between unblended lines in low-noise averaged spectra vary with line-strength: stronger lines are more blushifted in dwarfs than in giants, apparently compensating for the gravitational redshift. Synthetic high-resolution spectra are computed from 3-dimensional hydrodynamic model atmospheres for both giants and dwarfs, and synthetic wavelength shifts obtained. In agreement with observations, 3D models predict substantially smaller wavelength-shift differences than expected from gravitational redshift only. The procedures developed could be used to test 3D models for different classes of stars, but will ultimately require high-fidelity spectra for measurements of wavelength shifts in individual spectral lines.
About 22000 Kepler stars and nearly 60000 TESS stars from sectors 1-24 have been classified according to variability type. A large proportion of stars of all spectral types appear to have periods consistent with the expected rotation periods. A previ
ous analysis of A and late B stars strongly suggests that these stars are indeed rotational variables. In this paper we have accumulated sufficient data to show that rotational modulation is present even among the early B stars. A search for flares in TESS A and B stars resulted in the detection of 110 flares in 68 stars. The flare energies exceed those of typical K and M dwarfs by at least two orders of magnitude. These results, together with severe difficulties of current models to explain stellar pulsations in A and B stars, suggest a need for revision of our current understanding of the outer layers of stars with radiative envelopes.
