THE COMET LIGHT-CURVE ATLAS - (THE COMET LIGHT-CURVE CATALOG ATLAS .3. THE ATLAS)

The comet light curve atlas is a compilation of light curves of periodic comets, covering the period 1899-1989, except for P/Encke, which also has the period 1832-1898 included. The magnitudes have been taken from a compilation of a large number of observations. The different corrections applied to the magnitudes are described. These corrections are colour corrections, a delta effect correction, telescope aperture corrections and corrections for sky conditions.
