Scientific paper

Photoelectric UBV observations of IN Com in 1987-1988 have confirmed the periodic light variations observed by Schnell and Purgathofer (1983). A Fourier analysis of the 1983 and 1987-1988 observations led to the best period of 5.9522d. It is suggested that the observed periodicity may be caused by the reflection effect in a binary system or by the axial rotation of a G star with a long-lived spot or group of spots.
