Abstract
We have detected pulsational radial velocity variations in the rapidly oscillating Ap star HR 3831 which are amplitude- and phase-modulated in the same manner as the photometric variations. In particular, the r adial velocities show the same 180 degrees phase reversal at magnetic quadrature as the photometric variations. This confirms the oblique pu lsator model, and rules out the spotted pulsator model for these stars .
