Spurred by the spectroscopic and interferometric observations of rapidly rotating stars and the highly accurate pulsation data coming from asteroseismology space missions, theoreticians have spent many years developing models for such stars and studying their oscillations. This has led to the discovery of new phenomena and new types of pulsation modes. In what follows, a review is given of the different methods used to model the effects of rotation on stellar pulsations, as well as a description of these effects on inertial, gravito‐inertial, r and acoustic modes (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
