A search for pulsations in the HgMn star HD 45975 with CoRoT photometry and ground-based spectroscopy
The existence of pulsations in HgMn stars is still being debated. To provide the first unambiguous observational detection of pulsations in this class of chemically peculiar objects, the bright star HD 45975 was monitored for nearly two months by the CoRoT satellite. Independent analyses of the light curve provides evidence …
