Stellar Pulsations Impact Of New Instrumentation And New Insights

<p>Analyses of photometric time series obtained from the <i>MOST</i>, <i>CoRoT</i> and <i>Kepler</i> space missions were presented at the 20th conference on Stellar Pulsations (Granada, September 2011). These results are leading to a re-appraisal of our views on stellar pulsation in some stars and posing some new and unexpected challenges. The very important and exciting role played by innovative ground-based observational techniques, such as interferometric measurements of giant pulsating stars and high-resolution spectroscopy in the near infrared, is also discussed. These Proceedings are distinguished by the format of the conference, which brings together a variety of related but different topics not found in other meetings of this nature.</p>
