Abstrakt: We report the firm discovery of solar-like oscillations in a giant star. We monitored the star ξHya (G7III) continuously during one month with the CORALIE spectrograph attached to the 1.2 m Swiss Euler telescope. The 433 high-precision radial-velocity measurements clearly reveal multiple oscillation frequencies in the range 50–130 μHz, corresponding to periods between 2.0 and 5.5 hours. The amplitudes of the strongest modes are slightly smaller than $2\ensuremath{\,\rm{m\,s}^{-1}}$. Current model calculations are compatible with the detected modes.
