Overall light curves of EK Dra for (a) Hα EW, (b) TESS's optical white light, and (c) NICER's X-ray count rate (0.5–3 keV), taken from 2022 April 9 to 2022 April 21. Hα EW is calculated within the wavelength range of 6562.8 ± 10 Å. Note that a negative (or negative-direction) EW value corresponds to emission by definition. TESS's optical white-light fluxes are normalized to the average flux. The vertical dashed lines represent detected superflares, labeled as “E1,” “E2,” and “E3.”
