Abstract
In this paper, we present the first investigation of the short period eclipsing binary GY Psc. We find that GY Psc is a shallow W-subtype binary with a mass ratio of = 2.522. We also find that its light curves show different O’Connell effect, which can be explained by the evolution of the cool star-spots. At the same time, the diagram reveals a cyclic oscillation with a period of years and an amplitude of 0.033883 days. The cyclic oscillation is interpreted as the light travel-time effect via the presence of a stellar black hole candidate. The minimum mass of the tertiary companion is estimated to be = 12.99 . All the results reveal that GY Psc may be a triple system with active star-spot activity.
