Abstract

Velocity measurements of the G2 subgiant β Hyi with both UCLES and CORALIE show a clear excess of power centred at 1.0 mHz. In the UCLES data we find evidence for a short-lived, high-amplitude oscillation event. If confirmed as a feature of subgiants, such ‘starquakes’ would make it harder to measure accurate mode frequencies and perform asteroseismology.
