MASTER OT J062019.25+362511.7 - new bright CV
MASTER-Amur auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) =
06h 20m 19.25s +36d 25m 11.7s on 2013-01-21.63046 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.4m (limit 17.7m). The OT is seen in
3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2012-12-16.72213 UT with
unfiltered magnitude limit 18.8m.
There is nothing at this position in any catalogs. No objects are
visible on 6 DSS plates and on color-combined SDSS image to ~23.5m. No
previous outbursts were detected by Palomar/NEAT and CRTS.
Based on the amplitude of variability (about 7m) we suggest that
MASTER OT J062019.25+362511.7 is likely a dwarf nova of WZ Sge type in
superoutburst.
Follow up observations are required. The discovery and reference
images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/062019.25362511.7.png
MASTER OT J165418.97+515236.9 - PSN
MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA,
Dec) = 16h 54m 18.97s +51d 52m 36.9s on 2013-01-22.04169 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.5m (limit 19.0m). The OT is seen in
2 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2010-06-09.89581 UT with
magnitude limit in 'R' filter 19.7m.
There are 3 galaxies around. The brightest one is PGC 59221
(B=15.4) with a long distorted spiral arm. The OT offset is 78.3" E
and 28.5" N. Two other galaxies are closer to the OT.
Spectral observations are required.
