MASTER OT J073208.11+064149.5 - new bright CV
MASTER-Amur auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 07h 32m 08.11s +06d 41m 49.5s on 2013-12-29.62851 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 15.4m (limit 17.2m). The OT is seen in 9 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference image without OT on 2011-01-22.54389 UT with magnitude limit in 'V' filter 17.3m. The object has brightened to 15.2m on the second triplet of images obtained on Dec. 29.660-29.663 UT. It was confirmed at 15.2m on 2013-12-30.63075 UT.
There is a faint blue object (magnitude about 22) marginally visible near the OT on the sum of digitized Palomar plates. Color-combined (BRIR) finder chart is uploaded to http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/J073208+064149-BRIR5x5.jpg (2x zoom).
There is nothing at this position in any catalogs. Object was not visible on 6 NEAT images of 2002 Feb. 07 and 17 and on their combination (m_lim~21). This area of sky in Canis Minor is not covered by SDSS and CRTS.
Based on the blue color and outburst amplitude (~7m), MASTER OT J073208.11+064149.5 is most likely a dwarf nova of WZ Sge (UGWZ) type in superoutburst. Follow up observations are required. The discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/073208.11064149.5.png
