Abstract
New theoretical instability strips for δ Sct and γ Dor stars are presented. These results have been obtained taking into account the perturbation of the convective flux following the treatment of Gabriel ([CITE]). For the first time, the red edge of the δ Sct instability strip for non-radial modes is obtained. The influence of this time-dependent convection (TDC) on the driving of the γ Dor gravity modes is investigated. The results obtained for different values of the mixing-length parameter α are compared for the γ Dor models. A good agreement with observations is found for models with α between 1.8 and 2.0.Keywords
