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.
