Abstract
Solar-like oscillations have recently been observed in the red giant ɛ Ophiuchi (G9.5III). The large frequency separation is found to be 4.8 μHz, non-radial oscillation mode has been shown to exist. Based on the observed frequency of oscillations and the position of ɛ Ophiuchi on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram and by adopting a method of combined calculation of stellar evolution and oscillations, some preliminary constraints on the mass, metal abundance, age and radius of this star have been obtained.
