Fields of activities • Photometric characterization of seismo targets • Time series photometry of exofields • Guide for subfield selection: ROTSE-I • Successful applications: - Low amplitude variation of classical pulsating stars (GI Zoltán Kolláth) - Blazhko and double mode RR Lyrae stars (headed by Merieme Chadid, France)
Pulsating stars studied by COROT • Radial region: long periods – exofields • Non-radial region: main sequence – shorter periods Joergen Christensen Dalsgaard
Simplest waves Made by Zoltán Kolláth
Targets of asteroseismology: existing oscillationsamplified by 100000 (David B. Guenther)
Propogation of waveswith different parameters • White– l = 0 • Blue– l = 2 • Green– l = 20 • Yellow– l = 25 • Red– l = 75 Joergen Christensen-Dalsgaard
Method of inversion – asteroseismologyDifferential layer between Green and Yellow waves is investigated Many waves – many layers are studied Joergen Christensen-Dalsgaard
Data obtained for Theta Tucanae6 weeks, three sites – single site 20 years earlier
First step of inversionfinding the frequencies of waves • 10 waves were identified • Binary nature was discovered • Spectroscopically confirmed later

I gave a large scale view of the Hungarian activity in the COROT scientific preparatory work. My colleagues will give the details and colours of this picture. HAG wish you a pleasant Hungarian COROT Day! Thank you
