The OGLE-IV Transient Search (Wyrzykowski et al. ATEL #4495, Kozlowski et al. 2013)
reports the discovery of nine new on-going transient candidates.
The transients appeared near or on top of apparent galaxies
and their light curves resemble those of supernovae near their peak brightness.

Photometric and spectroscopic follow-up is strongly encouraged.
We also have a pleasure to announce that our survey has increased its sky coverage from 430 to
about 660 sq.deg near the Magellanic Clouds.
The typical sampling remains at one field observed every 3-4 days.
Finding charts and light curves are available here.
