Abstract
The Kepler spacecraft is providing photometric time series with micro-magnitude precision for thousands of variable stars, what opens up opportunities to study the pulsational variability in much more detail than was previously possible from the ground. We present a first general characterization of the variability of A-F type stars as observed in the Kepler light curves of a sample of 750 candidate A-F type stars.
