Scientific paper

A stellar seismometer with a Cacciani-type sodium cell as a very stable frequency reference for radial velocity measurements was successfully operated for the detection of oscillations on Procyon and Alpha Centauri in 1983 and 1984. In a new version, its sensitivity is increased and the sources of noise reduced. The principle and the limits of sensitivity are discussed. Other possible applications are also suggested. Capabilities of this instrument in the context of the development of asteroseismology are assessed.
