Asteroseismology from solar-like oscillations
It was observed over 6 nights with HARPS by Carrier & Eggenberger (2006), who found ∆ν = 162 µHz but were not able to give unambiguous mode identifications from these single-site data.
Observations of solar-like oscillations
HD 49933 (F5 V): this is a potential target for the COROT space mission and was observed over 10 nights with HARPS by Mosser et al. (2005).
Observations of solar-like oscillations
This star was the target for a twosite campaign in 2005, with HARPS and UCLES, that resulted in the clear detection of mixed modes (Bedding et al., submitted to ApJ).
Observations of solar-like oscillations
The mode lifetime is about 2–4 days and there is now evidence of rotational splitting from photometry with the WIRE satellite analysed by Fletcher et al. (2006) (see Fig. 2) and also from ground-based spectroscopy with HARPS (Bazot et al., 2006).
