MASTER OT J003133.10+113635.4 - new flare star

MASTER-Tunka auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 00h 31m 33.10s +11d 36m 35.4s on 2013-12-03.47017 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 15.3m (limit 19.3m). The OT is seen in 9 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference image without OT on 2011-12-16.54503 UT with the OT at unfiltered magnitude 18.7m (limit 19.7m). The object was not present on unfiltered images obtained 45 minutes earlier, on 2013 Dec. 03.437-03.440 UT to m_lim=18.5.

The OT at quiescence is identical to the red star USNO-B1.0 1016-0004712 (00 31 33.199 +11 36 36.25 pmRA=-50 pmDE=-34 R1=19.81 B2=20.25 R2=19.76 I=17.02) = SDSS J003133.16+113635.7 (u=24.89 g=22.53 r=20.70 i=17.98 z=16.51) = 2MASS 00313320+1136359 (J=14.59+/-0.03 H=13.89+/-0.05 K=13.53+/-0.05).

There is nothing at this position in 1RXS, GCVS and AAVSO VSX. No flares were detected by CRTS. Based on the color, amplitude (~4m) and short rise time, MASTER OT J003133.10+113635.4 is the new variable of UV Ceti type (flaring red dwarf). Follow up observations are desirable.

MASTER OT J033619.97+445318.5 - new CV

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 03h 36m 19.97s +44d 53m 18.5s on 2013-12-05.76405 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.4m (limit 19.0m). The OT is seen in 8 images. We have reference image without OT on 2011-10-27.98278 UT with unfiltered m_lim=20.1.

The OT is identical to the blue star USNO-A2.0 1275-02473814 (03 36 19.98 +44 53 17.9 R=18.3 B=18.3). It was detected in outburst on 1953 Jan. 10 POSS plates and by Sloan Sky Survey as SDSS J033619.99+445317.8 (u=18.88 g=18.15 r=17.98 i=17.95 z=17.93). The star is about B=21.5 on 2nd epoch Palomar plates. Comparison of 1953, 1989 and 1993 Blue Palomar plates is uploaded to http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/J033619+445318-POSS-B.jpg (6'x6' FOV).

There is nothing at this position in 1RXS, 2MASS, USNO-B1.0, GCVS and AAVSO VSX. This area of sky in Perseus is not covered by NEAT and CRTS.

Based on the blue color and previous outbursts, MASTER OT J033619.97+445318.5 is most likely a dwarf nova of UGSS or USGU type. Follow up observations are required. The discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/033619.97445318.5.png

We also note the new variable star located 3.7' south-west of MASTER OT J033619.97+445318.5. It is marked on the chart as Var. The star is bright on eight DSS plates but faded by ~3m on 1993-01-23 Blue plate. It is present in catalogs as USNO-B1.0 1348-0080021 (03 36 03.976 +44 50 50.08 B1=17.09 R1=15.96 B2=20.05 R2=16.03 I=15.49), SDSS J033603.97+445049.6 (u=19.74 g=18.01 r=17.08 i=16.68 z=16.39) and 2MASS 03360396+4450497 (J=14.73+/-0.04 H=14.28+/-0.05 K=14.10+/-0.06). 2MASS colors suggest the early K spectral class. The star appears to be a deeply eclipsing variable and deserves additional observations.

MASTER OT J060608.52+470042.3 - new CV

MASTER-Tunka auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 06h 06m 08.52s +47d 00m 42.3s on 2013-12-05.64583 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.3m (limit 18.9m). The OT is seen in 3 images. We have reference image without OT on 2012-10-17.91027 UT with magnitude limit in V filter 19.2m.

There is nothing at this position in any catalogs. This area of sky in Auriga is not covered by SDSS, NEAT and CRTS. Based on the outburst amplitude (~5m), MASTER OT J060608.52+470042.3 is likely a dwarf nova of SU UMa (UGSU) type in superoutburst. Follow up observations are required.
