Scientific paper

UBVRI photometry of the isolated T Tauri star TW Hya, obtained during
1987 April from ESO, is presented. The data analysis shows a periodicity
of 2.195 d in light variation. The steep increase of amplitude towards
shorter wavelengths is interpreted as due to the rotational modulation
of hot plage region on the stellar surface.
