Rigby1, and A. Bronowska4 egreen@ ABSTRACT During the course of an ongoing CCD monitoring program to investigate low-level light variations in subdwarf B (sdB) stars, we have serendipitously dis- covered a new class of low amplitude, multimode sdB pulsators with periods of the order of an hour. These periods are more than a factor of ten longer than those of previously known multimode sdB pulsators (EC14026 stars), implying that they are due to gravity modes rather than pressure modes. The longer pe- riod pulsators are found only among cooler sdB stars, where they are surprisingly common. The iron opacity instability that drives the short period EC14026 stars is effective only in hot sdB’s, leaving the driving mechanism for the deeper grav- ity modes in cool sdB’s currently unknown. We present the first observational results for our newly identified sdB variables, and discuss possible implications. 1Steward Observatory, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721; egreen@; caller- ame@; irs@; bwhite@; elainahyde@; jrigby@ 2De?partement de Physique, Universite? de Montre?al, CP6128, Station Centreville, Montre?al, QC H3C 3J7, Canada; fontaine@astro.umontreal.ca; brassard@astro.umontreal.ca 3Physics, Astronomy, Material Science, SW Missouri State University, Springfield, MO 65804; mreed@ 4Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes, 37800 Santa Cruz de La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain; roy@ing.iac.es; bronka@.pl 5Sternwarte of the University Bonn, Auf dem Huegel 71, D-53123 Bonn, Germany; ocordes@astro.uni- bonn.de 6Dr.-Remeis-Sternwarte University Erlangen-Nu?rnberg, Sternwartstr. 7, D-96049 Bamber
