p-mode frequencies in solar-like stars -: I.: Procyon A

As a part of an on-going program to explore the signature of p-modes in solar-like stars by means of high-resolution absorption line spectroscopy, we have Studied four stars (alphaCMi, etaCas A, zetaHer A and betaVir). We present here new results front two-site observations of Procyon A acquired over twelve nights in 1999. Oscillation frequencies for l = 1 and 0 (or 2) p-modes are detected in the power spectra of these Doppler shift measurements. A frequency analysis points out the difficulties of the classical asymptotic theory in representing the p-mode spectrum of Procyon A.
