Abstract

We report new photometry of CG Cyg from 1998-2002. We also analyze published photometry collected since 1965. An O-C analysis reveals evidence of a third body in the system having a 51 year orbital period. After removing the effects of the third body, we note a remaining 22.5 year cyclic variation in the O-C curve that is similar to the period of the luminosity variations. Modeling the spot activity for 28 V band light curves obtained between 1965 and 2002 confirms the presence of two active longitude belts (ALBs) at approximately 90 ◦ and 270 ◦ . Most of the spots occur at mid latitudes with a few at low latitudes. We note no spots at latitudes greater than 60 ◦ .
