[vsnet-outburst 27778] GK Per (Nova 1901, intermediate polar) in outburst (since Oct. 2)
GK Persei (NA+UG+NLDQ) Orbital period: 1.996803 d White dwarf spin period: 0.0040625 d = 5.85 min = 351 s https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=25717 Beginning of the brightening noticed yesterday during my regular check of ASAS-SN Sky Patrol data. https://asas-sn.osu.edu/sky-patrol/coordinate/485c8c41-e472-4da9-ab5c-c42c04... I then checked the latest AAVSO data, but the latest observation was (and still is) from 2021 Sept. 30.935 UT: https://app.aavso.org/webobs/results/?star=000-BBG-044 No visual confirmation by me due to bad weather last night. The latest ZTF observation is from 2021 Sept. 14.384 UT: https://lasair.roe.ac.uk/object/ZTF18abnzukj/ The beginning outburst was also noted by Y. Maeda (Oct. 2.613 UT, mag. 126cG; see vsnet-outburst 27777). The previous dwarf nova outburst of GK Per was observed from 2018 August 23 to October 28 (optical peak on Sept. 24, V= 10.1). Follow-up observations (e.g. spectroscopy) are encouraged.
