Abstract
We report simultaneous heat capacity and torsional oscillator measurement o f He-3 in aerogel near the superfluid transition. The heat capacity has a p eak at the temperature T-c where the to torsional oscillator shows the onse t of superfluid decoupling. The coincidence of these signatures suggests th at He-3 in aerogel does undergo a true thermodynamic transition.
