These light curves define the behavior of variable stars and provide basic sets of observations for multiwavelength data correlation, data analysis, and for checking theories and matching models. The monograph format enables us to present long-term variable star behavior, with each Monograph containing 20 or more years of computer-generated light curves on one star. Each Supplement to a Monograph continues the light curves of the same star, bringing them more up to date. GK Persei Light Curves, 1901 - 1902 and 1963 - 1995 AAVSO Monograph 13 contains light curves of the nova type cataclysmic variable GK Persei (Nova Persei 1901) from February 1901 to October 1902 (JD 2415435 - 2416027) and September 1963 through December 1995 (JD 2438299 - 2450083). The historical light curve of the 1901 outburst of GK Persei is presented on page 1, and covers the time interval February 1901 - October 1902 (JD 2415435 - 2416027). This light curve is taken from Annals of Harvard College Observatory, Vol. 48, No. 2, p. 39 (1903). The observations that comprise this light curve were compiled by Leon Campbell. The AAVSO long-term light curve of GK Persei from September 1963 through December 1995 (JD 2438299 - 2450083) is presented on pages 2 - 4. This light curve has been included to give a more complete picture of GK Persei's behavior. The observations that comprise this light curve are visual and come from the AAVSO International Database. Pages 5 through 28 contain computer-generated light curves from 1963 through December 1995, with each dot representing one observation. Observations are plotted Julian date versus magnitude, and the start of each year (January 1) is indicated along the upper axis. A scaled grid is provided to assist in determining the exact date and magnitude of any data point. Factual information on GK Persei and a Key to Symbols are given on page ix. The observations in the light curves from 1963 to 1995 in this monograph are the contributions of AAVSO members or observers in the United States and abroad. 388 observers have contributed 18,658 observations to the light curves from 1963 through 1995. The names and observer codes of the observers whose observations are included in the light curves published in this monograph and the number of observations from each observer are given on pages vii and viii. Organizations whose members have contributed observations included in this monograph to the AAVSO either individually or through their organization are listed on page viii. In preparing the data for publication in this monograph, each of the observations from 1963 to 1995 was evaluated by my senior technical assistant Elizabeth O. Waagen and by me. Software used in evaluating and plotting the observations was developed by my technical assistant E. Grant Foster. v ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAGE vi The observations from 1963 through 1995 included in this monograph have been preserved on compact disc, cartridge, and printout. Electronic, diskette, or printout copies of observations for further analysis may be obtained by writing or sending email to the AAVSO Director at aavso@aavso.org. The data may also be retrieved for personal use (not for publication or distribution) from the AAVSO's ftp site: ftp.aavso.org (198.116.78.2) in /monographs, or its home page: http://www.aavso.org. Acknowledgements We dedicate AAVSO Monograph 13 to Michael M. McCants. Michael has contributed generously towards the preparation of the AAVSO monographs and supplements. We extend our sincere thanks to him. We remember with special thanks Clinton B. Ford for his very generous contribution for the preparation of this and subsequent monographs and monograph supplements. Our sincere thanks go to AAVSO members and friends for their contributions to prepare these monographs and monograph supplements. We thank the International Astronomical Union (IAU) for their support of our monograph series and for the grant provided to the AAVSO to publish this and other monographs. We acknowledge with thanks the computer support of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory for the processing of part of the data and data preservation. The evaluation of the data and the preparation of this monograph were accomplished using the computer facilities at AAVSO Headquarters. This computer hardware was purchased through grants from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (grant awards NAGW 1493 and NAG 5-1459), the Kenilworth Fund, and the Theodore H. Dunham Fund for Astrophysical Research. We gratefully acknowledge these grants. Many AAVSO assistants helped in the preparation of the data for publication. My special thanks go to Elizabeth O. Waagen for her careful evaluation of the observations and plotting the light curves, and to E. Grant Foster for developing the computer programs for the IBM-PC compatible MS-DOS computers at AAVSO Headquarters to evaluate, plot, and prepare the data for publication. Robert S. Hill, Charles M. Jones, and Richard J. Strazdas assisted in the initial development of the computer programs to manage the large volumes of data. Barbara Silva, Donna Eldridge, Douglas Van Orsow, Young Lim, Michael Bickford, and several other student-assistants have helped in making the data computer-readable. The dedication, the many, many hours of observing, and the untiring efforts of our observers in pursuit of contributing to variable star astronomy have made this publication possible. Our very sincere thanks and gratitude go to them for their valuable  astronomical contributions.

Magnitude information based on visual observations in the AAVSO International Database: Dwarf nova outburst maximum visual magnitude ranges between 10.3 and 10.8. Mean quiescence visual magnitude ranges between 13.0 and 13.5. KEY TO SYMBOLS Symbols used in this monograph are: . = 1 visual observation v = variable is fainter than the magnitude indicated by the vertex of the "v" on the light curve (variable not seen) Please note that there may appear to be horizontal lines in some parts of the light curves. These "lines" are in fact very dense concentrations of individual observations. ix ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAGE x GK PERSEI LIGHT CURVES 1901 - 1902 and 1963 - 1995 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAGES 1, 2, 3, and 4 Captions for long-term light curves on pages 1, 2, 3, and 4: Historical light curve of 0324+43 GK Persei for JD 2415435 - 2416027 (February 1901 - October 1902), taken from Ann.
