MASTER OT J073252.76+292953.0 - possible Supernova

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 07h 32m 52.76s +29d 29m 53.0s on 2013-12-23.88166 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.8m (limit 18.8m). The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference image without OT on 2010-12-06.96914 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 21.0m.

The OT is located 1" east and 5" south of the center of galaxy SDSS J073252.61+292958.8 (g=18.95 r=18.25 i=17.87). Sum of six 60-sec exposures on 2013 Dec. 23 is uploaded to http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/J073252+292953-MASTER-Kislovodsk.jpg

The OT has been reported to CBAT TOCP as PSN J07325276+2929530. Spectral confirmation is required. The discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/073252.76292953.0.png

MASTER OT J084319.20+480131.5 - flaring red dwarf

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 08h 43m 19.20s +48d 01m 31.5s on 2013-12-23.91519 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.7m (limit 18.9m). The OT is seen in 2 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference image without OT on 2011-11-30.89828 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.9m. The object was not visible on 21:54:48 UT unfiltered image (60-sec exposure, m_lim=19.0). It was first detected on 21:56:18 UT at 18.5m and brightened to 17.7m on 21:57:52 UT. It was not visible on the second triplet of images obtained 45 minutes later, at 22:43-22:46 UT (m_lim=19.0).

The OT at quiescence is identical to the red star SDSS J084319.19+480132.5 (g=24.93 r=23.37 i=21.00 z=19.46). There is nothing at this position in 1RXS, USNO, 2MASS, GCVS and AAVSO VSX.

Based on the color, amplitude and short rise time MASTER OT J084319.20+480131.5 is the new variable of UV Ceti type (flaring red dwarf). Follow up observations are encouraged. The discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/084319.20480131.5.png
