Comments:

NPD
Cell parameters from a determination at 2.55K in the same publication. Atomic positions from a room temperature determination retrieved from ICSD
The propagation vector has been changed here to an equivalent one

Comments (symmetry):

1k incommensurate structure
Two irreps involved as primary, the two irrep modulations superposed in quadrature.
Spin modulation lowers point group symmetry into m1', breaking inversion symmetry.
Polar symmetry on the ac plane, allowing magnetic induced ferroelectricity (type II multiferroic).
