For 5 out of 28 known rapidly oscillating magnetic chemically peculiar (roAp) stars, the largest observed frequency seems to exceed the theoretical acoustic cutoff frequency, which is determined by the outermost stellar regions. We show that a better modelling of the atmosphere reconciles the theory with the observations for at least the roAp star α Cir.
