Abstract

We review past and present efforts to perform asteroseismic studies of the distant stars from an observational viewpoint. We discuss the challenges, problems and successes for the different kinds of pulsators that seem suitable for asteroseismology and we outline some paths along which the understanding of the interior structure of these stars could progress.
