Abstract (from CDS):
We present time-resolved photometry of five relatively poorly-studied cataclysmic variables:
V1193 Ori,
LQ Peg,
LD 317,
V795 Her, and
MCT 2347-3144. The observations were made using four 1m-class telescopes for a total of more than 250h of observation and almost 16000 data points. For
LQ Peg WHT spectroscopic data have been analysed as well. The light curves show a wide range of variability on different time scales from minutes to months. We detect for the first time a brightness variation of 0.05mag in amplitude in
V1193 Ori on the same timescale as the orbital period, which we interpret as the result of the irradiation of the secondary. A 20-min quasi-periodic oscillation is also detected. The mean brightness of the system has changed by 0.5mag on a three-month interval, while the flickering was halved. In
LQ Peg a 0.05mag modulation was revealed with a period of about 3h. The flickering was much smaller, of the order of 0.025mag. A possible quasi-periodic oscillation could exist near 30min. For this object, the WHT spectra are single-peaked and do not show any radial-velocity variations. The data of
LD 317 show a decrease in the mean magnitude of the system. No periodic signal was detected but this is certainly attributable to the very large flickering observed: between 0.07 and 0.1mag. For
V795 Her, the 2.8-h modulation, thought to be a superhump arising from the precession of the disc, is present. We show that this modulation is not stable in terms of periodicity, amplitude, and phase. Finally, for
MCT 2347-3144, a clear modulation is seen in a first dataset obtained in October 2002. This modulation is absent in August 2003, when the system was brighter and showed much more flickering.
