Pulsating stars harbouring planets    [PDF]

Why bother with asteroseismology while studing exoplanets? There are several answers to this question. Asteroseismology and exoplanetary sciences have well known synergies opening scientific interesting fields and space missions oportunities. These two fileds offer, together with stellar activity analyses, a complete package of techniques to obtain as much information as possible of exoplanetary systems from their observational time series. Asteroseismology has already provided some very interesting results to understand a number of stellar - exoplanets systems. An additional benefit of accurate asteroseismic studies is the possible discovering of new exoplanets. The study of exoplanets - stars interactions opens the window to the understanding of a number of physical processes. In this review I will summarize the past and present of this research field, and some guidelines for the next future.
