We have searched for photometric variability in 95 Vir , a fast rotating , chromospherically active early F-type star , which was observed in the framework of Campaign 6 of the Kepler K2 mission .
Available literature information on 95 Vir were procured , and well-established calibrations were employed to verify the derived astrophysical parameters .
We have investigated the location of our target star in the M _ { Bol } versus \log T _ { \mathrm { eff } } diagram , which provides information on evolutionary status .
We have discussed our results in detail , drawing on literature information and the theoretical predictions of state-of-the-art pulsation models , with the aim of unraveling the underlying variability mechanisms .
From an analysis of 3400 long-cadence measurements , we have identified two main frequencies and several harmonics in our target star .
We attribute the main frequency , f 1 = 9.53728 d ^ { -1 } , to \delta Scuti pulsations .
The origin of the secondary signal , f 2 = 1.07129 d ^ { -1 } , is less clear .
We have investigated three possible interpretations of the low-frequency variation : binarity , pulsation and rotational modulation .
Current evidence favours an interpretation of f 2 as a signature of the rotational period caused by the presence of cool star spots , which goes along well with the observed chromospheric activity .
However , phase-resolved spectroscopy is needed to verify this assumption .
We briefly consider other chromospherically active \delta Scuti stars that have been presented in the literature .
A search for star spot-induced photometric variability in these objects might be of great interest , as well as an investigation of the interplay between chromospheric and pulsational activity .
