In CePd₂Ga₃, one of the few ferromagnetically ordered heavy fermion materials, the transition temperature T_mag (\sim 6.4 K) is lowered by pressure. From a comparison of resistance data with DC susceptibility data there is evidence, however, that the FM magnetization disappears before T_mag is suppressed to zero. The isostructural compound CePd₂Al₂Ga also shows FM order, but with a much lower T_mag \sim 1.8 K. It could be expected, therefore, to reach T_mag = 0 K within a pressure range where thermodynamic properties like \chi and C_p can be determined. Earlier data of the ac susceptibility have shown that after an initial steep decline T_mag saturates with a tendency to increase again above 0.4 GPa. Here we present specific heat data extending up to 2.5 GPa which confirm this dependence as a bulk property of CePd₂Al₂Ga. Moreover, they show a maximum in T_mag around 1.8 GPa followed by a steep decline extrapolating to 0 K below 2.8 GPa. This decline is accompanied by a flattening of the transition anomaly above 1.9 GPa. Notwithstanding the hints on a change of the type of magnetic order from ac susceptibility results the magnetic structure under pressure is not known. So the interesting question if there exists a quantum critical point between a FM phase and a Kondo Fermi liquid is still open.
