Abstract

In this study, we present long term photometric variations of the close binary system \astrobj{GO Cyg}. Modelling of the system shows that the primary is filling Roche lobe and the secondary of the system is almost filling its Roche lobe. The physical parameters of the system are M1=3.0±0.2MM_1 = 3.0\pm0.2 M_{\odot}, M2=1.3±0.1MM_2 = 1.3 \pm 0.1 M_{\odot}, R1=2.50±0.12RR_1 = 2.50\pm 0.12 R_{\odot}, R2=1.75±0.09RR_2 = 1.75 \pm 0.09 R_{\odot}, L1=64±9LL_1 = 64\pm 9 L_{\odot}, L2=4.9±0.7LL_2 = 4.9 \pm 0.7 L_{\odot}, and a=5.5±0.3Ra = 5.5 \pm 0.3 R_{\odot}. Our results show that \astrobj{GO Cyg} is the most massive system near contact binary (NCB). Analysis of times of the minima shows a sinusoidal variation with a period of 92.3±0.592.3\pm0.5 years due to a third body whose mass is less than 2.3MM_{\odot}. Finally a period variation rate of 1.4×109-1.4\times10^{-9} d/yr has been determined using all available light curves.
