The power spectrum and the time-correlation function of the position of the "adiabatic" piston at equilibrium are investigated. The analysis is made by means of molecular dynamics simulations of two hard-disk gases at equilibrium separated by a movable piston without internal degrees of freedom. For different piston masses we obtain results for some of the main time scales involved in the problem. In particular we obtain an approximate expression for the mass dependence of the piston frequency, its damping constant, and the relaxation time from quasiequilibrium to global equilibrium, in agreement with recent nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of the system.
