Identification of the main mode in the sdB star Balloon090100001

  Balloon is the brightest (B=11.8) pulsating sdB, has many frequencies, and its single dominant mode (P=356 seconds) has largest amplitude of all sdB stars

  We obtained 1600 spectra of 30 seconds exposure time, with the FIES spectrograph at the 2.6m Nordic Optical Telescope
