We report the detection of short period oscillations in the sdB stars
HS 0039+4302, HS 0444+0408, HS 1824+5745 and HS 2151+0857 from
time-series photometry made at the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT)
of a sample of 55 candidates.
Hence these four hot subdwarfs are new members of the EC 14026
class of pulsating sdB stars.
HS 0039+4302 is a multi-mode pulsator with at least four distinct
periods in the range between 182 and 234 s, and amplitudes up to 8 mma.
HS 0444+0408 shows one dominant pulsation at 137 s ( mma)
and a second weaker pulsation at 170 s (
mma).
For HS 1824+5745 we find a single period of 139 s with an amplitude
of about 5 mma.
HS 2151+0857 shows four periods in the range 129-151 s with amplitudes
between 2 and 5 mma.
Our NLTE model atmosphere analysis of the time-averaged optical spectra
place all stars well within the theoretical sdBV instability strip.

Based on observations obtained at the Nordic Optical Telescope, operated on the island of La Palma jointly by Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, in the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias.
