Photometric Light Curves Analysis of SU UMa-Type Dwarf Novae: The Case of RZ LMi and KV Dra

Key Points

• This research aims to analyze light curves of SU UMa-type dwarf novae, focusing on superhumps and classification.
• Conducted photometric observations of RZ LMi and KV Dra
• Analyzed light curves to detect superhumps during superoutbursts
• Determined periods and amplitudes of superhumps for both systems
• Classified RZ LMi and KV Dra into specific subclasses of dwarf novae
• Measured orbital period for KV Dra.
• Identified superhumps in light curves during superoutbursts for both stars
• Classified RZ LMi as an ER UMa subclass dwarf nova
• Classified KV Dra as a WZ Sge subclass dwarf nova
• Determined orbital period of KV Dra as 0.0586 days
