The thesis significantly advances stellar astrophysics through a comprehensive analysis of Kepler Mission data, detailing both long and short cadence data and the Kepler reduction pipeline. It uniquely combines modern insights on A-type stars and delta Scuti pulsators, marking the first review since Sydney Wolff's classic work. Introducing Super-Nyquist Asteroseismology, it facilitates the study of numerous Kepler stars, with case studies on delta Scuti stars and a high-amplitude SX Phoenicis star, enhancing our understanding of rotation and peculiarities in stellar behavior.
