Scientific paper

YY Cet is an Algol system with partial eclipses and a period of 19 hours. The components appear to be slightly evolved A/F and G/K stars. UBV photometry has been acquired over four seasons with the 36-inch telescope at the DeKalb County (GA) School System's Fernbank Science Center. Times of minimum have been determined per filter and season, and a literature search has provided additional values for examining the possibility of period changes. Preliminary light curve solutions using all of our data have been derived with the Wilson-Devinney binary star code. V. Ponce wishes to acknowledge support from the NSF's Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program administered through the Georgia Institute of Technology.
