BY Dra (MOVe+MOVe) and II Peg (K2IV-III) are well known noneclipsing spectroscopic binary systems showing the low-amplitude quasiperiodic photometric variability that is typical of spotted stars.
Since the discovery of their variability (Chugainov 1966, Eggen 1968) additional accurate photometry has been carried out (cf. Rodono 1982). On account of their highly variable light curves (LC), we have reanalyzed all the available observations and divided the original data into shorter time-interval sets, so that overlapping LCs with different shape could be separated. Additional LCs obtained at Catania Observatory till 198l were also included.
Partly based on observations by the IUE collected at the Villafranca Satellite Tracking Station of the ESA.
