Description
High-speed photometric techniques have been found useful as a way to
study the acoustic mode signature in low main sequence stars. In this
work, the discovery of solar-like oscillations associated to the
presence of acoustic modes of pulsation in the F2V star HD155543,
located outside of the instability strip, is reported. This finding has
been obtained through an analysis of a long series of data (184 hours)
obtained in 20 nights of observation with two twin three channel
photometers attached to two 1.5 m telescopes sited at two observatories,
simultaneously: Teide (OT) at Tenerife (Spain) and San Pedro
Mártir (SPM) at Baja California Norte (Mexico). The major results
yielded have been: the range of frequencies where p-modes signal is
present (1 to 3 mHz); an upper limit of 20 µmag for the amplitude
of the modes; the mean spacing between modes of equal degree l and
consecutive order n, v o = 97.3 ± 0.6 µHz and two possible
values of D o, 1.4 or 1.8 µHz. The values of these parameters
agree, within the resolution, with those yielded by standard computed
models of main sequence stars compatible with the luminosity and
effective temperature already known for HD155543. These results open new
perspectives for astero-seismology in the near future.
