Infrahumps detected in Kepler light curve of V1504 Cygni

Abstract

We present a power spectral density analysis of the short cadence Kepler data for the cataclysmic variable V1504 Cygni. We identify three distinct periods: the orbital period (1.6690.005 hours), the superhump period (1.7330.005 hours), and the infrahump period (1.6280.005 hours). The results are consistent with those predicted by the period excess-deficit relation.
