MASTER OT J113627.31+340738.9 detection - flat-spectrum radio quasar optical flare, ampl>1.5m
MASTER-Tavrida auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 11h 36m 27.31s +34d 07m 38.9s on 2018-05-16.87374 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.5m (limit 19.7m).
The OT is seen in 4 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2017-04-16.94588 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 20.0m, on 2018-04-12 19:04:50UT with mlim=19.8m.
Spectral observations are required.
