AbstractThis is a part of an ongoing research project by Dr. Patterson to identify 
low-amplitude variation in Yellow Supergiant (YSG) stars.  
We picked F and G stars from SIMBAD to observe at Baker Observatory.  
The stars were observed from August to November and were evaluated using IRAF.  
The stars included a known YSG star.  The variability of the stars was checked 
and then searched for periodicity.  The programs used to calculate the period 
were the phase dispersion minimization (PDM) program in IRAF and Analisis de Variabilidad Estelar (AVE).
