Abstract

We present the light curve and time series analysis of classical novae and dwarf novae systems monitored/observed with the 1.5 m Russian-Turkish Joint telescope (RTT150) at the TÜBITAK (The Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey) National Observatory in Antalya, Turkey. As part of a large program on CCD photometry of Cataclysmic Variables, V2275 Cyg (N 2001 No.2), RW UMi, FO Per and PX And were observed for a total of about 25 nights. The results on V2275 Cyg show that the system has a period of 0.463±0.014 or the 1-d alias 0.316±0.007 with a wide eclipse-like pattern (IAUC 8074). The power spectral analysis of the data on RW UMi reveal possible periodicities at around several frequencies (eg., 14.4, 16.7, 19, 30, 39, 46, 68, 108 in cycles per day) that could be interpreted as the binary period, spin period of the white dwarf and/or orbital sidebands of the system. We find that the radial velocity profiles of H-alpha lines and the photometry of the Dwarf Nova FO Per indicates the possible presence of a period around 0.1828 d.
