The Photometric Period of the Cataclysmic Variable HV Andromedae

TL;DR

This study reports the detection of superhumps in the cataclysmic variable HV Andromedae through four nights of photometry, revealing a 3.368-hour period and low frequency variations.

Contribution

First time identification of superhumps in HV Andromedae using time-resolved photometry and period analysis.

Findings

Detected a 3.368-hour period in HV And

Identified low frequency power in the light curve

Provided evidence of superhumps in HV And

Abstract

We present four nights of time-resolved photometry of the cataclysmic variable star HV And. Our time series analysis has revealed a prominent period at 3.368 +/- 0.060 hours, as well as some low frequency power. We interpret this signal, from saw-tooth waves in the light curve, as evidence of superhumps in HV And.
