[en] An asteroseismologic model of the gamma Dor star 9 Aurigae is discussed in this work. This is the first time a complete asteroseismologic scheme for analyzing gamma Dor stars is applied. From standard photometric observations (at least three oscillation frequencies, a photometric error box in the HR diagram and multicolor photometric observations, in this case in the Strömgren system) we can reduce the possible theoretical models for this star, providing constraints to the stellar parameters as mass, overshooting, metallicity, MLT parameter alpha , Brunt-Väiälä integral (I[SUB]th[/SUB]), etc. Simultaneously, an estimate of the modal identification of the observed frequencies is also obtained. This can be possible by the application, for the first time, of a complete procedure where different theoretical and computational techniques, recently developed, are linked and compared with photometric observations. The Frequency Ratio Method (FRM) and the Time Dependent Convection (TDC) theory are the basis of this complete procedure.
