In this study, we compute theoretical line profiles of a non-radially pulsating star, taking the non-adiabatic effects into account. These non-adiabatic effects are especially important in the atmosphere, where the spectral lines are formed, and must be accounted for. In this first paper of the series, we present a new treatment of the perturbed thermal and dynamical equations in the atmosphere of a pulsating star. We apply our formalism to the computation of non-adiabatic eigenfunctions in a typical β Cephei star with low order p-modes and in a typical slowly pulsating B star with high-order g-modes.
Key words: stars: oscillations / stars: atmospheres / Line: profiles / stars: variables: β Cep / stars: variables: slowly fulsating B stars
