Abstract: (arXiv)
Using the updated oscillation spectrum of γ\gamma Pegasi, we construct a set of seismic models which reproduce two pulsational frequencies corresponding to the =0\ell=0, p1_1 and =1\ell=1, g1_1 modes. Then, we single out models which reproduce other well identified modes. Finally, we extend our seismic modelling by a requirement of fitting also values of the complex, nonadiabatic parameter ff associated to each mode frequency. Such complex asteroseismology of the B-type pulsators provides a unique test of stellar metallicity and opacities. In contrast to our previous studies, results for γ\gamma Peg indicate that both opacity tables, OPAL and OP, are equally preferred.
