Abstract content <br> (Max 300 words)
Medupe et al. (2009) developed a new formula for photometric mode identification by considering the shapes of eigen functions in A stars. We calculated opacity tables using ATLAS9 model atmosphere computer program and use this to fit the new formula to delta Scuti stars.
In this talk, I am going to explain and review mode
identification methods for pulsating stars and present the new improved photometric mode identification formula and our results.
