Abstract:
    We present the results of UBrH_{alpha}_z monitoring of a sample of
    T Tauri stars. The method of differential CCD photometry was applied.
    The observations span a range of ten days and show that eleven out of
    twelve sources varied during this time interval. These variations are
    correlated in all bands. Periods were detected (confidence level
    99.99%) for eight out of eleven variable stars; one additional period
    was found at the 99.9% confidence level. Of those, one (BP Tau) agrees
    with previously published periods; two, GM Aur and IQ Tau, do not; six
    are new detections of periodicities. The sample is drawn from the
    Taurus-Auriga and Cepheus IV star-forming regions.
