Poster abstract details

The Kepler space mission, successfully launched in March 2009, is providing continuous, high-precision photometry of thousands of stars simultaneously. The uninterrupted time-series of stars of all known pulsation types are a precious source for asteroseismic studies. The Kepler data does not provide information on the physical parameters, such as $T_{\rm eff}$, $\log g$, metallicity, and v$\sin$i, which are crucial for successful asteroseismic modeling. Therefore, ground-based multi-colour photometry and mid/high-spectroscopy are needed to complement the space data. In this poster we present ground-based activities on selected Kepler targets of several pulsation types, such as $\delta$ Sct, $\gamma$ Dor, $\beta$ Cep, solar-like, Be, and Slowly Pulsating B stars, Cepheids, and pulsating stars in clusters.
