Since the discovery of white dwarf pulsations about 50 years ago,
extended ground-based, and recently, space-based measurements
have promoted to reveal the pulsation properties of these stars.
What is more, in some cases, in-depth asteroseismic investigations
have also become possible. During this seminar, I summarize the
last years' results on this type of pulsators, with special
regard to the so-called ZZ Ceti stars, both obtained from
space and ground. This includes a review
of our findings here at Konkoly Observatory, too, and an
outlook for the possible studies of white dwarf pulsations with future
space missions.
