Scientific paper

The optical light curve of the 1983 minor outburst of GK Per obtained by the AAVSO is presented in the context of the last few outbursts, which in general follow a rising trend in brightness. An optical spectrum obtained at the peak of outburst, showing enhanced He II and C III + N III emission, is compared to the outburst spectra of other cataclysmic variables (novae, dwarf novae, and nova-likes).
