TL;DR
This paper analyzes the light curves of AM CVn by decomposing them into Fourier components, revealing that the variability in light curve shapes is due to changes in the amplitudes of superhumps, negative superhumps, and orbital variations.
Contribution
It introduces a Fourier decomposition approach to study the variable amplitudes of different light curve components in AM CVn.
Findings
Amplitudes of fundamental and overtone modes are variable.
Light curve shape variations are due to both interference and parameter variability.
The analysis highlights the dynamic nature of light curve components in AM CVn.
Abstract
Light curves of AM CVn are analyzed by decomposing them into their Fourier components. The amplitudes of the fundamental mode and overtones of the three components: the superhumps, the negative superhumps and the orbital variations, are found to be variable. This implies that variations in the shape of the observed light curve of AM CVn are not only due to the interference between those components, but also due to the variability of their parameters.
