Abstract

Context. Studying stellar pulsations in open clusters offers the possibility of performing ensemble asteroseismology. The reasonable assumption that the cluster members have the same age, distance, and overall metallicity aids in the seismic modelling process and tightly constrains it. Therefore it is important to identify open clusters with many pulsators.
