Abstract Simultaneous spectrometric and photometric observations have been performed, on the red giant star Arcturus (α Boo), in a search for radial velocity or luminosity variations related to global oscillations of the stellar structure. From a preliminary analysis of the spectrometric data, several frequencies have been discovered in the range from 1 to 50 μHz, the highest amplitude being of ∼60 ms−1 at 4.3 μHz. From the analysis of the photometric data, slight evidence of this variation has been found, yielding a value of ΔV/Δm=48 km s−1 mag−1.
