MASTER OT J002932.32+502554.2 - new CV

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 00h 29m 32.32s +50d 25m 54.2s on 2013-11-11.70049 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.2m (limit 18.9m). The OT is seen in 6 images. We have reference image without OT on 2012-09-19.70023 UT with unfiltered m_lim=19.6.

The object is not present in any catalogs. There is nothing at this position on digitized POSS-I and POSS-II plates. However, object is visible on Quick-V photovisual plate of 1983-11-06, likely detected in outburst. Comparison of BRIR and OVR color-combined finder charts is uploaded to http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/J002932+502554-DSS4x4.jpg (2x zoom). This area of sky in Cassiopeia is not covered by CRTS, SDSS and NEAT.

Based on the amplitude of variability we suggest that MASTER OT J002932.32+502554.2 is a new cataclysmic variable (dwarf nova in outburst). Follow up observations are desirable. The discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/002932.32502554.2.png

MASTER OT J110201.44+701857.3 - new blazar

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 11h 02m 01.44s +70d 18m 57.3s on 2013-11-14.01502 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.6m (limit 19.1m). The OT is seen in 6 images. We have reference image without OT on 2010-11-13.90809 UT with unfiltered m_lim=19.3.

The OT at quiescence is identical to the blue star-like object USNO-B1.0 1603-0089935 (11 02 01.378 +70 18 57.54 B1=20.61 R1=19.85 B2=20.24). Color-combined (BRIR) finder chart is uploaded to http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/J110201+701857-BRIR.jpg (10'x10' FOV). There is also an UV counterpart GALEX J110201.6+701858 (FUV=21.01+/-0.30, NUV=20.33+/-0.16) and infrared source WISE J110201.34+701857.2 (W1=16.00, W2=15.11, W3=12.65, W4=9.27).

There is a radio source at this position NVSS J110201+701857 = BWE 1058+7035. It is listed in Atlas of Radio/X-ray associations (Flesch, 2010) with a 70% probability of being a QSO. Redshift is unknown. Object is not present in 1RXS and 2MASS. It was at minimum light on 9 DSS plates. This area of sky in Ursa Major is not covered by SDSS, CRTS and NEAT.

Follow up multi-wavelength observations and polarization measurements are required. The discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/110201.44701857.3.png

MASTER OT J070844.85+194820.1 - new CV

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 07h 08m 44.85s +19d 48m 20.1s on 2013-11-16.88913 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 15.7m (limit 18.0m). The OT is seen in 14 images. We have reference image without OT on 2012-01-21.86396 UT with unfiltered m_lim=20.1.

There is a faint blue star at the position of OT on digitized Palomar plates. It is present in GSC 2.3.2 with coordinates 07 08 44.911 +19 48 20.10 and magnitude jmag=21.78. Color-combined (BRIR) finder chart is uploaded to http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/J070844+194820-BRIR5x5.jpg (2x zoom). There is also a faint UV counterpart GALEX J070844.8+194819 (NUV=22.68+/-0.44).

There is nothing at this position in 1RXS, 2MASS, GCVS and AAVSO VSX. Object was at minimum light on 9 DSS plates, 42 NEAT images in 2000-2002 and 75 Mount Lemmon Survey images in 2005-2013. This area of sky in Gemini is not covered by SDSS.

Based on the blue color and outburst amplitude (~6m), MASTER OT J070844.85+194820.1 is most likely a dwarf nova of SU UMa (UGSU) type in superoutburst. Follow up observations are required. The discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/070844.85194820.1.png
