Abstract

We present results of an extensive world-wide observing campaign of MN Draconis. MN Draconis is a poorly known active dwarf nova in the period gap and is one of the only two known cases of period gap SU UMa objects showing the negative superhumps. Photometric behaviour of MN Draconis poses a challenge for existing models of the superhump and superoutburst mechanisms. Therefore, thorough investigation of peculiar systems, such as MN Draconis, is crucial for our understanding of evolution of the close binary stars. To measure fundamental parameters of the system, we collected photometric data in October 2009, June-September 2013 and June-December 2015. Analysis of the light curves, O-C diagrams and power spectra was carried out. During our three observational seasons we detected four superoutburts and several normal outbursts. Based on the two consecutive superoutbursts detected in 2015, the supercycle length was derived P_sc_=74+/-0.5-days and it has been increasing with a rate of P_dot_=3.3x10^-3^ during last twelve years. Based on the positive and negative superhumps we calculated the period excess {epsilon}=5.6%+/-0.1%, the period deficit {epsilon}_=2.5%+/-0.6%, and in result, the orbital period P_orb_=0.0994(1)days (143.126+/-0.144min). We updated the basic light curve parameters of MN Draconis. MN Draconis is the first discovered SU UMa system in the period gap with increasing supercycle length.
