Seismic modelling of a very young SPB star–KIC 8264293

W Szewczuk, P Walczak… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
ABSTRACT KIC 8264293 is a fast-rotating B-type pulsator observed by Kepler satellite. Its
photometric variability is mainly due to pulsations in high-order g modes. Besides, we …
