For rotating stars (rotational broadening > intrinsic line broadening) the Doppler-imaging principle applies: the rotation resolves the stellar disk in the velocity space of the line profile. Hence, mode-identification is 'easy'.
Pulsation modes up to L∼20 can be observed with high-resolution spectroscopy.
