Abstract
UBV photometric observations of the active binary star CG Cygnus have been presented and analyzed to obtain absolute parameters of both components. Updated O-C diagram analysis by Kalimeris method yielded the values of 1.55× 10-6 day and 1.4×10-7day as the amplitudes of orbital period modulation, and Pmod1∼ 52.3 yr and Pmod2 ∼ 15.9 yr as the modulation periodicities. Finally, the consequences of period changes have been discussed on the basis of Applegate mechanism.
