Superhumps
Some non-magnetic CVs, the SU UMa class of Dwarf Novae have occasional large amplitude outbursts, followed by more normal outbursts
During these large outbursts, a hump appears in the light curve: called superhumps
These humps evolve with time as outbursts decay.
Superhump period generally slightly longer than orbital period
