Abstract
BW Vul, the beta Cephei star with the largest-known amplitude, has bee n observed through several cycles of pulsation. The data, obtained at three observatories, were homogenized, and are presented in tabular fo rm. Times of minimum and maximum light were derived, and a contemporar y value for the period is deduced. Our data do not reveal any sudden p eriod change in the time span 1988-1991.
