Asteroseismology

of the Main Sequence Pulsating Variables

Abstract

The scope of asteroseismic studies within the Belgo-Indian Network for Astronomy and astrophysics (BINA) is explored. The main strands of current research in asteroseismology of the main sequence stars are outlined. While it is obvious that it would be difficult to match the quality of the space-based seismic data on such stars with ground-based telescopes, the possibility of contribution to supplemental spectroscopic data is considered. New calibrations of colour-temperature relations using archival data are presented. It is proposed that with similar calibrations with BINA-based photometric data in the future, it would be possible to provide accurate estimates of effective temperatures that would be useful in asteroseismology of such stars.
