The OGLE-IV Transient Detection System
(Wyrzykowski et al. 2014, AcA,64,197; Kozlowski et al. 2013; Klencki et al. 2016, AcA, 66,15)
announces discovery of
3
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: http://ogle.astrouw.edu.pl/ogle4/transients/rapid/rapid.html

OGLE17feo 5:00:59.88 -67:42:29.1 2458014.89876 19.083 found as Gaia17bsi

Photometric and spectroscopic follow-up is strongly encouraged.
We would like to note that since September 2017 OGLE transients are being reported to the
IAU's Transient Name Server (TNS). The naming convention of OGLE transients will now follow the names
obtained from the TNS, e.g., OGLE17grm is known also as AT2017grm (same letters).
