Abstract
We report the low-frequency sound measurements of the metastable A-like (A*) phase of superfluid 3He confined within a 98% open aerogel matrix in zero magnetic field. The second soundlike (slow) mode provides an accurate determination of the superfluid fraction of (and the transition between) the A* and B phases. The A* and B phases exhibit stable coexistence in the presence of disorder, the ratio of their superfluid fractions (ρ a A* /ρ s B ) is much smaller than that of the bulk A and B phases, and argues that the A* and bulk A phases are distinct.
