Abstract
We present a photometric analysis of the eclipsing Z Cam-type dwarf nova V416 Dra based on TESS and AAVSO data. The AAVSO light curve, spanning nearly 17 years, shows numerous outbursts recurring approximately every 20.2 and 38.6 days. We examined the amplitude vs. recurrence-time relation in V416 Dra, which appears to reflect the common characteristics of long outbursts in Z Cam stars. The TESS light curves revealed that V416 Dra is a shallow eclipse binary and shows some SU UMa-like superoutbursts, which may be related to the special structure of the accretion disk. The period-searching results show that there are the forest of peaks within the period range of 0.4–2.5 days, related to donor star’s activity. Moreover, we also find the presence of some typical quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) signals with periods of 14–41 and 177–200 min, respectively. These results will help us locate the origin of the QPOs in V416 Dra accurately.
