We report on the first asteroseismic analysis of solar-type stars
observed by Kepler. Observations of three G-type stars, made at
one-minute cadence during the first 33.5 days of science operations,
reveal high signal-to-noise solar-like oscillation spectra in all three
stars: About 20 modes of oscillation can clearly be distinguished
in each star. We discuss the appearance of the oscillation spectra,
including the presence of a possible signature of faculae, and the
presence of mixed modes in one of the three stars.

Astronomical spectroscopic archives of Observatoire de Haute Provence
is a database of high-resolution spectra of astronomical objects
(spectral domain: 385 nm to 680 nm; sampling 0.005 nm; resolution:
0.0065 nm) obtained with the Elodie spectrograph on a 193-cm diameter
telescope at Observatoire de Haute Provence (5 ° 42' E, +43° 55'
N, altitude 681 m). Note that Sophie spectrograph replaced the Elodie
Spectrograph in July 2005 and the Sophie archive is also open to the
community. More than 20 000 spectra of stars and other astrophysical
objects are available in these archives accessible using an online
web service or php protocol. This database is updated regularly,
when spectra with restricted access are opened to the community, or
after updating the pipeline of the processing. Our spectral analysis
to retrieve H2O is composed of cyclic procedures, varying spectral
resolution of water vapor cross-section, spectral shift of water vapor
cross-section and the total column of water vapor molecules per surface
area in line-of-sight for each individual spectra. Seasonal variability
of water vapor as well as a preliminary study of its trend above the
observatory is possible because of the high quality of the available
data. Astronomy can provide valuable past and present observations
useful for atmospheric science, and this should be explored further. We
are exploring here the possibility to retrieve HDO using similaire
technique and extending it to differential methods. Results of our
study will be presented here.

We have analyzed data from a multi-site campaign to observe oscillations
in the F5 star Procyon. The data consist of high-precision velocities
that we obtained over more than three weeks with 11 telescopes. A
new method for adjusting the data weights allows us to suppress the
sidelobes in the power spectrum. Stacking the power spectrum in a
so-called échelle diagram reveals two clear ridges, which we identify
with even and odd values of the angular degree (l = 0 and 2, and l =
1 and 3, respectively). We interpret a strong, narrow peak at 446 μHz
that lies close to the l = 1 ridge as a mode with mixed character. We
show that the frequencies of the ridge centroids and their separations
are useful diagnostics for asteroseismology. In particular, variations
in the large separation appear to indicate a glitch in the sound-speed
profile at an acoustic depth of ~1000 s. We list frequencies for 55
modes extracted from the data spanning 20 radial orders, a range
comparable to the best solar data, which will provide valuable
constraints for theoretical models. A preliminary comparison with
published models shows that the offset between observed and calculated
frequencies for the radial modes is very different for Procyon than
for the Sun and other cool stars. We find the mean lifetime of the
modes in Procyon to be 1.29+0.55 -0.49 days,
which is significantly shorter than the 2-4 days seen in the Sun.

We have carried out a multisite campaign to measure oscillations in
the F5 star Procyon A. We obtained high-precision velocity observations
over more than three weeks with 11 telescopes, with almost continuous
coverage for the central 10 days. This represents the most extensive
campaign so far organized on any solar-type oscillator. We describe in
detail the methods we used for processing and combining the data. These
involved calculating weights for the velocity time series from the
measurement uncertainties and adjusting them in order to minimize the
noise level of the combined data. The time series of velocities for
Procyon shows the clear signature of oscillations, with a plateau of
excess power that is centered at 0.9 mHz and is broader than has been
seen for other stars. The mean amplitude of the radial modes is 38.1
+/- 1.3 cm s-1 (2.0 times solar), which is consistent with
previous detections from the ground and by the WIRE spacecraft, and
also with the upper limit set by the MOST spacecraft. The variation
of the amplitude during the observing campaign allows us to estimate
the mode lifetime to be 1.5+ 1.9-0.8 days. We
also find a slow variation in the radial velocity of Procyon, with good
agreement between different telescopes. These variations are remarkably
similar to those seen in the Sun, and we interpret them as being due to
rotational modulation from active regions on the stellar surface. The
variations appear to have a period of about 10 days, which presumably
equals the stellar rotation period or, perhaps, half of it. The amount
of power in these slow variations indicates that the fractional area of
Procyon covered by active regions is slightly higher than for the Sun.

Procyon A is a bright F5IV star in a binary system. Although the
distance, mass and angular diameter of this star are all known with high
precision, the exact evolutionary state is still unclear. Evolutionary
tracks with different ages and different mass fractions of hydrogen
in the core pass, within the errors, through the observed position of
Procyon A in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. For more than15 years
several different groups have studied the solar-like oscillations in
Procyon A to determine its evolutionary state. Although several studies
independently detected power excess in the periodogram, there is no
agreement on the actual oscillation frequencies yet. This is probably
due to either insufficient high-quality data (i.e., aliasing) or due
to intrinsic properties of the star (i.e., short mode lifetimes). Now
a spectroscopic multi-site campaign using 10 telescopes world-wide
(minimizing aliasing effects) with a total time span of nearly 4
weeks (increase the frequency resolution) is performed to identify
frequencies in this star and finally determine its properties and
evolutionary state.

An improvement of the radial-velocity measurement accuracy is crucial
for the detection of tiny stellar oscillations and exoplanets. Through
the analysis of week-long extensive observations of solar-type stars
(Procyon in 2000, 2002, and 2006/2007 and τ Cet in 2002 and 2006/2007),
we have carefully examined, revised, and finely tuned the widely used
multiple Gaussian IP fitting method for the spectrograph, HIDES. By
determining a necessary and sufficient number of free parameters in the
model as well as introducing an iterative process in the radial-velocity
analysis, we can reach a precision of below 3ms-1, which
is much smaller than the precision of 6ms-1 officially
announced so far for HIDES. We also make our technique refined for the
2002 McDonald Procyon data. Even with our revised method, slow radial
velocity variations with an amplitude of about 10ms-1
are left in the Procyon data. We emphasize that it is neither due
to particular observing instruments nor radial-velocity analysis,
and thus could be due to stellar origin. The analysis presented
here makes the foundations of our next scientific analysis of the
radial-velocity variations of Procyon, which will be presented in our
forthcoming papers.

Context: This paper reports a 9-night asteroseismic observation
program conducted in January 2007 with the new spectrometer sophie
at the OHP 193-cm telescope, on the F5 IV-V target Procyon A.
Aims: This first asteroseismic program with sophie was intended
to test the performance of the instrument with a bright but demanding
asteroseismic target and was part of a multisite network.
Methods:
The sophie spectra have been reduced with the data reduction software
provided by OHP. The Procyon asteroseismic data were then analyzed
with statistical tools. The asymptotic analysis has been conducted
considering possible curvature in the échelle diagram analysis.
Results: These observations have proven the efficient performance of
sophie used as an asteroseismometer, and succeed in a clear detection
of the large spacing. An échelle diagram based on the 54-μHz
spacing shows clear ridges. Identification of the peaks exhibits
large spacings varying from about 52 μHz to 56 μHz. Outside
the frequency range [0.9, 1.0 mHz] where the identification is
confused, the large spacing increases at a rate of about dΔν/dn
≃ 0.2 μHz. This may explain some of the different values of
the large spacing obtained by previous observations.

Bibcode: 2006A&A...460..759P
Altcode:
Models of Procyon A satisfying the actual observational constraints,
particularly the asteroseismic ones, are discussed. The oscillations
of these models were computed and analysed. We looked for seismic
signatures of the evolutionary status of Procyon A. We show that the
behavior of the small frequency spacings, particularly δν01
allows us to distinguish between main sequence and post-main sequence
models, all satisfying the observational constraints on mass,
effective temperature, radius, and surface metallicity of Procyon
A. We also introduce a new seismic evolution criterion, varepsilon,
based on the comparison of the low and high frequency parts of the
power spectrum. The comparison of the seismic properties of the models
with the available asteroseismic observations does not allow us to
definitely decide on the stage of evolution of Procyon A. Much more
accurate frequencies must be obtained especially in the low-frequency
domain to distinguish between the models.

Title: The non-detection of oscillations in Procyon by MOST: Is it
really a surprise?

We argue that the non-detection of oscillations in Procyon by the
MOST satellite reported by [CITE] is fully consistent with published
ground-based velocity observations of this star. We also examine the
claims that the MOST observations represent the best photometric
precision so far reported in the literature by about an order of
magnitude and are the most sensitive data set for asteroseismology
available for any star other than the Sun. These statements are
not correct, with the most notable exceptions being observations
of oscillations in α Cen A that are far superior. We further
disagree that the hump of excess power seen repeatedly from velocity
observations of Procyon can be explained as an artefact caused by
gaps in the data. The MOST observations failed to reveal oscillations
clearly because their noise level is too high, possibly from scattered
Earthlight in the instrument. We did find an excess of strong peaks in
the MOST amplitude spectrum that is inconsistent with a simple noise
source such as granulation, and may perhaps indicate oscillations at
roughly the expected level.

Spectroscopic high-resolution observations were performed with
fiber-fed cross-dispersed echelle spectrographs in order to measure
the fluctuations in radial velocities of a sample of bright stars
that are likely to undergo solar-like oscillations. Here we report
the results for beta Vir (HR4540) from two observing runs carried out
in February 2002 with FEROS at the ESO 1.52 m telescope in La Silla
(Chile) and ELODIE spectrograph at 1.93 OHP telescope (Observatoire de
Haute Provence, France). The analysis of the time series of Doppler
shifts from both sites has revealed the presence of an excess power
around 1.7 mHz. We discuss the interpretation of this data set in
terms of possible p-mode oscillations.

As a part of an on-going program to explore the signature of p-modes
in solar-like stars by means of high-resolution absorption line
spectroscopy, we have studied four stars (α CMi, η Cas A, ζ Her A
and β Vir). We present here new results from two-site observations of
Procyon A acquired over twelve nights in 1999. Oscillation frequencies
for l=1 and 0 (or 2) p-modes are detected in the power spectra of
these Doppler shift measurements. A frequency analysis points out the
difficulties of the classical asymptotic theory in representing the
p-mode spectrum of Procyon A. Based on observations obtained at
the Observatoire de Haute-Provence (CNRS, France) and at the Whipple
Observatory (Arizona, USA).

spatial asteroseismic observations, we have studied the theoretical
properties of the frequencies of possible models for a given stellar
target, taking into account its observational constraints in the
Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. We have computed a set of "calibrated"
stellar models satisfying these constraints for a star of solar
metallicity. We present some results on the sensitivity of the
oscillation frequencies to the description of the convective transport
and to physical processes entering in the stellar modeling, like core
overshoot. We compare the seismic properties of our models with the
observations of Procyon by Martić et al. (2001).

p-modes were searched in the interval of excess power around 1 mHz found
in the frequency spectra of each time series. The echelle diagram of
the observed and predicted p-mode frequencies from the standard model

Following the recent evidence for the presence of an excess of
power around 1 mHz in the frequency spectrum of the Doppler shift
measurements for Procyon (Martic et al., 1999), we searched for
individual frequencies of p-modes from three independent observing runs
(5, 10 and 15 nights). All observations (Decembre 1997, Novembre 1998,
January 1999) were made with the ELODIE fibre-fed cross-dispersed

in the interval of excess power are compared with the predicted p-mode
frequencies from stellar models (Chaboyer et al., 1999) for Procyon A.

Precise Doppler measurements of the star Procyon (alpha CMi, HR
2943) have been obtained with the ELODIE fiber-fed cross-dispersed
echelle spectrograph on the 1.93 m telescope at Observatoire de Haute
Provence. Here, we present the analysis of data from 10 days observing
run carried out in November 1998. We detect significant excess in
the power between 0.5-1.5 mHz in the periodograms of the time series
of mean Doppler shifts. Observations of eta Cas made with the same
instrument during the same time interval and in almost identical
night conditions show a flat spectrum in this frequency range,
indicating that the excess of Doppler signal seen on Procyon is of
stellar origin. When data from the whole run are jointly analyzed,
a period analysis places an upper limit of 0.50-0.60 ms-1
for the amplitude of oscillations, while the frequency cutoff is around
1.5 mHz. The power evidently drops near 0.55 and 1.5 mHz on the average
of unfiltered power spectra of individual nights, which is consistent
with the expected p-mode oscillation properties for Procyon. Several
equispaced peaks in frequency are recurrent in the power spectra of two
independent segments of 4 and 3 contiguous nights; the most probable
frequency spacing seems to be 55 mu Hz. In conclusion, we now have an
instrument set-up which is sufficiently stable and fast to be used for
a multi-site campaign involving instruments with comparable velocity
precisions, to detect the oscillation modes of sun-like stars. Based
on observations obtained at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence (CNRS,

The aim of this paper is to discuss the possible stellar origin of
the observed excess power presented in Martic et al. (\cite{martic})
by comparing these observational data with theoretical predictions
and numerical simulations. Stellar models are calculated for
Procyon A with appropriate physics for this star and with the
revised astrometric mass (1.46 +/- 0.04) Msun found by
Girard (\cite{girard98}). For these models, we compute the expected
oscillation spectra for l=0,1,2 modes including mnot =0 according to
theoretical amplitude predictions. Time-series are then simulated,
in the same conditions as the observations, and compared by Fourier
analysis with the observed ones. We show that the characteristics of
the signal are in good agreement with what should be expected for such
observing runs and we emphasize the importance of obtaining multi-site
observations for this star. We confirm the presence of a periodic
pattern in the Fourier spectrum, this pattern being interpreted as
the so-called large separation. Based on observations collected at
the Observatoire de Haute-Provence (CNRS, France).

Absolute accelerometry is a technique developed by P. Connes (1985),
to detect small radial-velocity changes, involving a CCD spectrograph,
two lasers and a Fabry-Perot. The final output is a beat frequency
similar to that from a Doppler radar. To estimate the performance of
the Absolute Astronomical Accelerometer (AAA) for asteroseismology,
we made specific observations, i.e. long continuous observing runs,
with a preliminary version of the AAA coupled with the spectrograph
Elodie at the T193 (OHP). The reachable accuracy is estimated from
observations and simulations. It is shown that AAA is a well-suited
instrument to detect solar-like oscillations in stars. References:

Title: Demonstration of Photon-Noise Limit in Stellar Radial
Velocities

Altcode:
We have measured apparent fluctuations in stellar radial velocities
with the ELODIE fiber-fed crossed-dispersion spectrograph and the
193-cm telescope of Observatoire de Haute-Provence. Within one given
night, the fluctuations consist of two terms which may be sorted
out. The first comes from imperfect scrambling of the stellar beam;
the second arises from photon noise and agrees closely with our
published calculations. So far, scrambler noise dominates for bright
stars, but a perfect scrambler could be built by combining adatative
optics and a single-mode fiber. The photon-noise results confirm that
extrasolar planetary searching by the radial-velocity technique may
be implemented with relatively small telescopes for a large number
of stars. Consequences for the detection of ‘astrophysical noise”
are discussed.

(SPDE), May 12, 1992, we obtained UV filtergrams at high resolution
(full Sun 0.82'' spatial resolution in the 160 nm continuum, the
CIV lines and Lyman alpha) with the Ultraviolet Filtergrap Camera
(UVFC). Closely coordinated observations were obtained with the Soft
X-ray Telescope (SXT) of the Yohkoh satellite and from dedicated ground
programs in particular at Sacramento Peak, La Palma and Pic-du-Midi
observatories. With this unique set of data we cover the solar
atmosphere as a whole, from the temperature minimum to the high corona
with essential steps in the chromosphere and transition region. After
the necessary calibrations of the data set, we present the first results
of the multitemperature development of an emerging flux region and of
a filament that rapidly changed right during the rocket short lifetime.

interferometric techniques. Its payload includes two major instruments,
which are the Solar Ultraviolet Network (SUN), an interferometric
array of four 20 cm telescopes on a 2 m baseline, and the Imaging

The first data of a SOHO-GOLF type instrument are presented
hereafter. The slopes of the solar sodium lines profiles D1 and
D2, and their variations with the excursion of the working point
are shown. Two methods of determining the oscillation velocity are
compared, one usually used with 2-point spectrometers and one using
the 4-point information. We show that the second method gives spectra
which are significantly less noisy in the very low frequency range
(up to 300 μHz). For higher frequencies, terrestrial atmospheric
fluctuations alter the measurement, and as far as ground based
instruments are concerned, the 4-point method loses its efficiency
if the magnetic modulation commutation time (in our case 20 seconds)
is not significantly reduced.

The solar observations at high angular resolution have led to the
discovery that the solar magnetic field is structured in filamentary
fields at the photospheric level. Manifestations of these fluxtubes can
be diagnosed with EUV images (with the Transition Region Camera Rocket
Experiment, TRC) at 220nm in the middle photosphere, at 160nm in the
temperature minimum region or in the Ly alpha and C IV lines formed
at temperatures 20 000K and 100 000K in the transition region. In the
frame of a thin flux tube modelling of the TRC data, the vertical
variation of tube parameters and the conditions for thermalisation
in the upper photosphere are discussed. We consider constraints from
EUV observations on current models of flux-tubes and coronal loops
including non LTE calculations, dynamic and magnetic effects.

Active regions on the solar surface induce a velocity signal in a
variety of measurements of doppler shifts including the integrated
sunlight measurements made by resonance cells using the NaD lines. These
signals may be an important limitation on the ability of the GOLF
investigation to detect solar g-modes. Although the power spectrum of
this velocity signal is not well studied, it is in principal possible
to develop techniques based on other properties of the spectral line
to isolate the active region induced component and remove it from
the observed velocity. This paper describes efforts to develop such
a method and verify its utility using ground-based measurements.

The measurement of global oscillations of the Sun from space will
provide the ultimate means by which we will assess the existence, and
hopefully observe some of the expected gravity modes. The SOHO-GOLF
experiment, with a 4-point measurement in the line profile (resonance
scattering method with a variable magnetic field applied to a sodium
cell), may be able to distinguish between magnetic effects and true
velocities. In this paper we characterize the effects of the magnetic
fields and active regions on all aspects of the solar D lines in
order to determine the best way to extract this signal from the solar
background noise. These preliminary findings are then used to quantify
the precision requirements for the GOLF Magnetic Field Modulation
measurement method.

Ultraviolet filtergrams and X ray spectra were taken by the joint

campaigns involving also ground observations. XSST spectra in the
range 8 to 97A were obtained on the 13 July 1982 flare. From the EUV
filtergrams obtained by the TRC (Transition Region Camera), we could
derive calibrated fluxes in the 220nm and 160 nm continua, in the Ly
alpha and C IV lines, spanning a range of temperatures from medium
photosphere (5 000K), temperature minimum (4 200K), and transition
region (20 000 and 100 000 K). For active regions and a flare, the TRC
fluxes are compared to other data and to corresponding calculations
from semiempirical models. Finally, the scientific prospects of an
advanced TRC/XSST payload onboard future missions are discussed.

IV contribution) and the 169 nm filtergram, we study the differential
contribution of the C IV lines and of the continuum emission, from
the quiet sun, an active region and at the limb.
