Scientific paper

We present surface (Doppler) imaging temperature maps of the FK Comae-type star HD 199178 (V1794 Cyg). The maps have been calculated from high resolution spectra and simultaneous Johnson V-photometry obtained between 1994 and 1997. All maps reveal a high latitude spot, which is 1200-1600 K cooler than the mean surface temperature. The observed slightly flat bottomed absorption lines can be explained by antisolar surface differential rotation. The presence of differential rotation is supported by the variations in the photometric rotation period.
