Here we present the results of the zero-field specific heat study of the LuFe_6Al_6 single crystal. The specific heat data were analyzed as a sum of the phonon, electronic, and magnetic contributions, respectively. The analysis of the phonon part involves three acoustic and 36 optical branches, respectively, all of them corrected for the anharmonicity. The magnetic part of the specific heat was obtained by subtracting the electronic and the phonon part from the experimental specific heat and the magnetic entropy was calculated.
