- Abstract
We review the methods available to perform mode identification from time-series photometric measurements. Following the developments in time, we discuss the roots of the method, its basic methodology, extensions and improvements. Suggestions on the optimal choice of filters to apply the method are quoted and several practical applications are cited, with a focus on how additional astrophysical information was obtained at the same time. Finally, some practical considerations concerning observational mode discrimination from photometry are given, some pitfalls are discussed and a brief glimpse at future space data is made.
