The first photometric analysis of the near-contact binary V370 Cygni

The first complete CCD light curves of the near-contact eclipsing binary system V370 Cygni with an A0 primary have been obtained in the B, V, R and I filters during 5 consecutive nights in 2005 with the 122-cm telescope at the Kryoneri Station of the National Observatory of Athens. The light curves are analyzed with the PHOEBE version of the W-D program in order to determine the geometrical and physical parameters of the system. These parameters are used together with the available spectroscopic data to compute the absolute elements of the system in order to estimate its evolutionary status.
