Abstract

The advent of space-based telescopes in the last decade such as MOST, CoRoT and Kepler, has become known as the Space Photometry Revolution. The KeplerSpace Telescope provided high photometric precision, a high duty cycle and data spanning four years for approximately 200 000 stars. In this chapter, a review of the KeplerSpace Telescope is provided including relevant details of using Keplerdata for asteroseismology. Also, the processing of all Keplerobservations of A and F stars is discussed, which formed the data set to find all the delta Sct stars studied in this monograph.
