We report on the results of powder and single crystal neutron diffraction to investigate the magnetic order in YbCo$_2$Si$_2$ below the N\'eel temperature $T_{\rm N} = 1.7~$K in detail. Two different magnetically ordered phases can clearly be distinguished. At lowest temperatures a commensurate magnetic structure with a propagation vector ${\bf …
