Poorly Studied Eclipsing Binaries in the Field of DO Dra: V0455 Dra and V0454 Dra

We report an analysis of two poorly studied systems GSC 04396-00605 and GSC 04395-00485, which were recently named as V0455 Dra and V0454 Dra, respectively. For two eclipsing stars, the periods and epochs were significantly corrected using our extensive data. The phenomenological characteristics of the mean light curves were determined using the "New Algol Variable" (NAV) algorithm. The individual times of Maxima/Minima (ToM) were determined using the newly developed software MAVKA, which outputs the accurate parameters using the "asymptotic parabola" approximations. The light curves were approximated using the Wilson-Devinney model, the best fit parameters are listed. For both systems, the presence of the dark spot is justified, the parameters are estimated. Both systems classified to be overcontact binaries of EW type. The observations were obtained using the 1-m Korean telescope of the LOAO while monitoring the cataclysmic variable DO Dra within the "Inter-Longitude Astronomy" (ILA) project.
