Abstract
This paper presents the analysis of Doppler p-mode observations of the G2V star Cen A obtained with the spectrograph CORALIE in May 2001. Thirteen nights of observations have made it possible to collect 1850 radial velocity measurements with a standard deviation of about 1.5 m s. Twenty-eight oscillation modes have been identified in the power spectrum between 1.8 and 2.9 mHz with amplitudes in the range 12 to 44 cm s. The average large and small spacing are respectively equal to 105.5 and 5.6 Hz. A comparison with stellar models of Cen A is presented.
