MASTER OT J145711.54+084955.0 - possible Supernova

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 14h 57m 11.54s +08d 49m 55.0s on 2014-01-02.08270 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.2m (limit 19.2m). The OT is seen in 9 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference image without OT on 2010-02-26.07469 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.8m. The object was also found on 2013-12-30.12213 UT image from the same telescope with unfiltered magnitude 17.3m (limit 19.1m).

The OT is located 2" east and 2" north of the center of galaxy SDSS J145711.42+084953.0 (g=21.07 r=20.78 i=20.33). Spectral confirmation is required. The discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/145711.54084955.0.jpg

MASTER OT J031710.35+733503.9 - possible Supernova

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 03h 17m 10.35s +73d 35m 03.9s on 2014-01-05.69610 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.1m (limit 19.2m). The OT is seen in 8 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference image without OT on 2012-09-27.98683 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.1m. The object was first observed by the same telescope at 17.6m on 2013-11-17.841 UT but was not detected as a transient then.

The OT is located 1" west and 2" south of the center of anonymous galaxy. Sum of six 60-sec exposures by MASTER-Kislovodsk on 2014-01-05 is uploaded to http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/J031710+733503-Kislovodsk140105.jpg

Spectral confirmation is required. The discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/031710.35733503.9.png
