  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(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, f1 = 9.53728 d**-1, to delta Scuti pulsations.
The origin of the secondary signal, f2 = 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 f2 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.
