Resumen: DA white dwarf stars, ZZ Ceti, are the most numerous class among the pulsating white dwarfs. These stars have atmospheres dominated by hydrogen, and effective temperatures between 10500 and 12300 K. Because of the periodic variations of their luminosity, we can use asteroseismology to study the inner structure and the global properties of these compact and old objects. These techniques basically consists on the comparison between the observed pulsation periods and theoretical periods computed from representative models. In this work we present the first light curves and Fourier transforms of the ZZ Ceti stars WD162813+122452 y BPM37093, obtained with the 2,15 m telescope at CASLEO. Observational data and physical parameters derived for some ZZ Ceti observed candidates are also included
