MASTER OT J192328.22+612413.5 - new Cataclysmic Variable

MASTER-Tunka auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 19h 23m 28.22s +61d 24m 13s.5s on 2014-04-20.82697 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.5m (limit 19.3m). The OT is seen in 7 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference image without OT on 2010-08-21.63309 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.2m. The object was marginally visible (mag 19.1) on the first triplet of images obtained 1.1 hr before, on 2014-04-20.779 UT. It is also present on 2014-04-22.697 and 22.743 UT MASTER-Tunka images at 17.7m.

The OT at quiescence is identical to the blue star USNO-A2.0 1500-06848103 (19 23 28.36 +61 24 13.8 B=18.9 R=19.1) = USNO-B1.0 1514-0248617 (19 23 28.253 +61 24 13.25 pmRA=-12 pmDE=-16 B1=19.06 R1=19.86 B2=18.02 R2=20.10 I=18.15). Color-combined DSS finder chart is uploaded to http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/J192328+612413-BRIR.jpg (10'x10' FOV). There is also an UV counterpart GALEX J192328.3+612413 (FUV=19.42+/-0.15 NUV=19.68+/-0.10). Finally, there is a faint ROSAT X-ray source 1RXS J192333.2+612507 (flux 0.0085+/-0.0029 cnt/s, hardness ratios HR1=-0.83+/-0.16 HR2=-0.08+/-1.35) formally 64" away, but with the error radius 14" and source extent 29". The object was also detected in the infrared as WISE J192328.25+612413.1 (W1=17.05+/-0.08 W2=17.33+/-0.31) and AllWISE J192328.25+612413.0 (W1=16.58+/-0.05 W2=16.60+/-0.14).

There is nothing at this position in 2MASS, GCVS and AAVSO VSX. Object is showing a large variability on the digitized Palomar plates and on NEAT images from 3 different nights. SDSS has missed the object by ~20". This area of sky in Draco is not covered by CRTS.

Based on the blue color, UV counterpart and fast variability, MASTER OT J192328.22+612413.5 is a new cataclysmic variable, likely an eclipsing polar. Follow up observations are required. The discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/192328.22612413.5.jpg
