Abstract

An attempt is made to interpret the variations of the light curve of VW Cephei in terms of a spot model. A light curve which is (hopefully) free from starspot effects is constructed from Kwee's (1966a) observations, and is analysed by the light-curve synthesis method. Then, Kwee's individual light curves are further analysed by assuming that starspots exist on the surface of the primary component. Properties of starspots are briefly discussed.
