Abstract

Context. Recently, the CoRoT target HD 175272 (F5V), which shows a weak signal of solar-like oscillations, was modelled by a differential asteroseismic analysis (Ozel et al. 2013, AA, 558, A79) relative to a seismically similar star, HD 181420 (F2V), for which there is a clear signature of solar-like oscillations. The results provided by Ozel et al. indicate the possibility of HD 175272 having subsolar mass, while being of the order of 1000 K hotter than the Sun. This seems unphysical – standard stellar evolution theory generally does not predict solar-metallicity stars of subsolar mass to be hotter than about 6000 K – and calls for a reanalysis of this star.
