S. Y. Stefanov, G. Latev, S. Boeva, M. Moyseev

TL;DR
This study provides a comprehensive photometric analysis of BG Tri, discovering multiple superhumps, estimating the system's mass ratio, and examining flickering behavior across different observational data and wavelengths.
Contribution
It reports the first detection of negative superhumps and superorbital variation in BG Tri, and offers independent photometric estimates of the system's mass ratio.
Findings
Discovery of negative superhump with P_{-sh} = 0.1515 days
Detection of positive superhump with P_{+sh} = 0.1727 days
Flickering amplitude increases at shorter wavelengths
Abstract
We present a detailed photometric study of the bright cataclysmic variable BG Tri using ground-based observations mainly from Rozhen Observatory, ASAS-SN, TESS, and WASP sky surveys. We report the discovery of a negative superhump with P = 0.1515(2) days and a co-existing superorbital variation with P=3.94(53) days in data from 2019 and 2020. A positive superhump with P = 0.1727(14) days is also discovered in data from 2006. The obtained negative superhump deficit =0.044(1) and the positive superhump excess =0.090(9) give us an independent photometric evaluation of the mass ratio (q) of the system, which we find to be q = 0.37(2) and q = 0.40(5) respectively. We also present a study of the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) and stochastic variability (flickering) in BG Tri. The light curves show a rich mixture of simultaneously…
