Scientific paper

We report on the discovery of a 25.5-minute superhump period for the suspected helium dwarf nova system KL Draconis in high state. The presence of superhumps combined with the previously-observed helium spectrum and large-amplitude photometric variations confirm that KL Dra is an AM CVn system similar to CR Bootis and CP Eridani.
