MASTER OT J095502.14-613325.7 discovery - bright OT, amplitude >6.3
AT2020ncx
During MASTER inspection (Lipunov et al. GCN #27976) of Fermi trigger 614103490
(short GRB, see MASTER coverage map)
MASTER-OAFA auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net",
Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 09h 55m 02.14s -61d 33m 25.7s on 2020-06-18.03112 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 15.7m
(mlim=17.2).
The OT is seen in 2 inspect images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference images since Dec 2014, for ex., at 2016-12-29.24981 UT with unfiltered mlim=18.7m, at at 2020-03-16 04:10:21UT with mlim=18.0.
There is no any sources in VIZIER database.
Deep photometry and spectral observation (if there is a source yet) are required.
One of other scenario is high amplitude dwarf nova outburst.
