Simon Murphy's thesis has significant impact on the wide use of the
revolutionary Kepler Mission data, leading to a new understanding
in stellar astrophysics. It first provides a deep characterisation
and comparison of the Kepler long cadence and short cadence data,
with particular insight into the Kepler reduction pipeline. It then
brings together modern reviews of rotation and peculiarities in
A-type stars, and their relationship with the pulsating delta Scuti
stars. This is the first combined review of these subjects since
the classic monograph by Sydney Wolff, "The A stars," was published
three decades ago. The thesis presents a novel technique,
Super-Nyquist Asteroseismology, that has opened up the
asteroseismic study of thousands of Kepler stars. It shows case
studies of delta Scuti stars examining amplitude growth,
super-Nyquist pulsation, and pulsation in a high-amplitude,
population II SX Phoenicis star in a 343-d binary. This work
informs our understanding of the relation of rotation to
peculiarity, hence has applications to atomic diffusion theory.
This is a brilliant thesis written in an elegant and engaging
style.
