 ABOUT THE VARIABILITY OF THE ECLIPSING VARIABLE STAR NQ HERCULIS


  The eclipsing variable star NQ Her was observed photoelectrically
from May to July in 1972, for 8 nights in blue and yellow light. The
observations were made with the 4n cm Cassegrain telescope of Ege
University Observatory. The telescope was equipped with an unrefrigerated 
1P21 photomultiplier and with the b and v filters which
are close to the standard UBV system.
  BD+18d3580 (7.9m, A0) was used as a comparison star. During the 
observational period the magnitude differences, between the variable
and comparison star, did not show any variability either with the
period of 0.870218d or with the period of 20.815d. The individual 
observations are plotted against the phases in Figure 1. The phases
were computed with the elements of General Catalogue of Variable
Stars (1970):
                 Min = JD 24 26 894.433 + 0.870218 E

  It is clearly seen that there is no any variability in the brightness 
of NQ Her and our observations confirm the results obtained by
Popovici (1971) and Blanco (1971).
  This study is a part of research project No. 76 supported by the
Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey.
