Abstract (from CDS):
We present new photometry of the faint (g∼19mag) and poorly studied cataclysmic variable SDSS J152419.33+220920.0, analyze its light curve and provide an accurate ephemeris for this system. Time-resolved CCD differential photometry was carried out using the 1.5 m and 0.84 m telescopes at the Observatorio Astronomico Nacional at San Pedro Martir. From time-resolved photometry of the system obtained during six nights (covering more than twenty primary eclipse cycles in more than three years), we show that this binary presents a strong primary and a weak secondary modulation. Our light curve analysis shows that only two fundamental frequencies are present, corresponding to the orbital period and a modulation with twice this frequency. We determine the accurate ephemeris of the system to be HJDeclipse=2454967.6750(1)+0.06531866661(1)E. A double-hump orbital period modulation, a standing feature in several bounce-back systems at quiescence, is present at several epochs. However, we found no other evidence to support the hypothesis that this system belongs to the post-minimum orbital-period systems.
