Investigations of the Accretion Disk Precessions of V533 Her and V795 Her

POSTER

Abstract

We analyze TESS photometry of the cataclysmic variables V533 Herculis and V795 Herculis, supplemented with ground-based observations. V533 Her is classified as a DQ Her-type intermediate polar, while V795 Her belongs to the SW Sextantis class. Both systems show normal outbursts with amplitudes and durations typical of CVs, as well as superoutbursts accompanied by superhumps. Periodograms and time–frequency analysis of V533 Her reveal a stable orbital period and evolving superhumps from 2020–2024: negative superhumps (0.156557 d) present in 2020–2022 were replaced by positive superhumps (0.143324 d) in 2022. For V795 Her, TESS Sectors 25 and 79 confirm a consistent orbital period of 0.108167 d and additional superhump signals
