The OGLE-IV Transient Detection System
(Wyrzykowski et al. 2014, AcA,64,197; Kozlowski et al. 2013, Klencki et al. 2016, AcA submitted)
reports the discovery of
9
new on-going transients.
They appeared near or on top of apparent galaxies
and their light curves resemble those of supernovae near or after their peak brightness.
Most of the candidates were detected with our Rapid Transient Detection System
within less than 15 mins from observation
and were made immediately available on the Rapid webpages: http://ogle.astrouw.edu.pl/ogle4/transients/rapid/rapid.html
