摘要
We present radial velocity measurements of the rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) star alpha Cir, obtained from dual-site observations with medium-dispersion spectrographs. The amplitude and phase of the principal pulsation mode vary significantly, depending on which line is being measured. The amplitude is observed to be as high as 1000 m s(-1) in some wavelength bands, despite a previous upper limit of 36 m s(-1). Furthermore, some lines are apparently pulsating in anti-phase with others. We suggest this indicates a high-overtone standing wave with a velocity node in the atmosphere of the star.
