We analyse 2.75 yr of Kepler spacecraft observations of the pulsating subdwarf B star KIC 10670103. These 1.4 million measurements have an impressive duty cycle of 93.8 per cent, a frequency resolution of 0.017 μHz, and a 5σ detection limit of 0.1 parts-per-thousand (ppt). We detect 278 periodicities, making KIC 10670103 the richest pulsating subdwarf B star to date. Frequencies range from 23 to 6...
