High-precision, differential, Stromgren b, y photometric observations of nine members of the Coma star cluster, spectral types of F3 V to K0 V, were made at Lowell Observatory between 1984 and 1987. It is found that four G-type stars in this sample were all variable on both seasonal and year-to-year time scales, and the single K-type star also showed hints of variability. In contrast, four F-type stars were not detectably variable on either time scale. The variable stars tended to become slightly bluer as they brightened. The low-level photometric variability of Coma stars appears to resemble closely that observed among similar stars in the Hyades cluster.
