Recent Photometry of CG Cygni
Abstract
The authors present three seasons (1981, 1982, 1983) of new photometry of the short-period RS CVn-like system CG Cygni. The system's period continues to steadily increase. The steady brightening of the system appears to have ended. The distortion wave varies erratically, and may not be migrating in a uniform manner. A brief episode of excess light, seen near secondary eclipse, is probably due to a hot gas stream.
