Description
BVRI CCD-based and near-IR (J) imaging, together with unfiltered
photometry of the hot subdwarf B star PG 0856+121, are reported. Two
close, faint, red, point-like sources are resolved. They account for the
previously reported IR excess observed in this hot subdwarf. In
addition, the new unfiltered differential photometry of PG 0856+121
confirms its previously reported pulsational nature. A comparison with
the oscillation modes of stellar models suggests the presence of g
modes. Based on observations made with the IAC80 Telescope operated on
the island of Tenerife by the Instituto de Astrofísica de
Canarias in the Spanish Observatorio del Teide.
