[46.04] Observations of p-modes in \alpha Cen

J. Schou (Stanford University), D.L. Buzasi (US Air Force Academy)

We present results of an analysis of time-series of photometry of \alpha Cen taken by the WIRE spacecraft in 1999 and 2000. We see evidence of p-modes similar to those observed in the Sun and we present some of the results obtained. We also discuss how the observed properties of the modes relate to those expected and what can be observed in other stars.
