With these data, a relation between the pulsational properties of pre-MS delta Scuti stars and their relative evolutionary phase on their way from the birthline to the zero-age main sequence was revealed. But it is evident from comparison with the more evolved pulsators in their main sequence or post-main sequence stages observed by the main Kepler mission, that many more questions could be addressed with significantly longer time bases and ultra-high precision. Here, I will discuss the observational status of pre-MS asteroseismology and the potential of future space observations for this research field.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-11-15T16:25:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "pulsating pre-main sequence stars", "space observations", "pre-ms delta scuti stars", "significantly longer time bases", "main kepler mission" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
