  2. Asteroseismology:satellite observatories * bright star, ~1-min (stacked) integration, ** for one-month long observations

  3. Ground-based observing campaigns DUTY CYCLE DETECTION THRESHOLD < 60%, typically ~20% > 0.08 mmag, typically ~1 mmag In comparison with satellite data: lower duty cycle, worse detection threshold

  25. Mode ID:multicolour photometry & spectroscopy The methods using multicolour photometry and spectroscopy for mode ID require ground-based data. A lot of interesting physics to study: - internal (core) rotation, - amount of overshooting from the core, - diffusion, - testing stellar opacities.

  29. Do we still need ground-based photometry ? YES, WE DO... Ground-based vs. satellite • SATELLITE: • higher duty cycle (up to ~100%), • better precision, • low noise at low frequencies (?). • GROUND-BASED: • cheaper, • multicolour photometry (exc. BRITE, however), • spectroscopy, • all sky available.

  30. Kepler field CoRoT „eyes” β Cephei stars: ASAS contribution (Southern) ASAS sky: δ < +28°, ~300 new β Cephei stars Pigulski & Pojmański (2010)

  31. Conclusions • Ground-based and satellite data are complementary. • Ground-based data are crucial for characterization of all and asteroseismology of some stars. • There are good prospects for testing stellar physics and stellar interiors with ground-based data.
