MASTER OT J202246.23+074636.3 discovery - 7 magnitude amplitude flare: superluminous supernova or high amplitude CV

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., Advances in Astronomy, MASTER Global Robotic Net, 2010 ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 20h 22m 46.23s +07d 46m 36.3s on 2015-03-09.09259 UT.

The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.0m (the limit is 17.8m).

The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.

We have reference image without OT on 2014-11-20.63487 UT with 20.5 unfiltered magnitude limit, and 30 images during 2014-2010 up to 20m.

This OT is identified with J202246.26+074636.4 Sloan source, classified as Galaxy, with Rmag=22.173. In this case MASTER OT J202246.23+074636.3 is a superluminous supernova. But this Sloan source can be not galaxy, and in this case MASTER OT is a very high amplitude CV (7m).

Spectral observations are required.

MASTER OT J145936.51-714660.0 - fast optical transient

MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 14h 59m 36.51s -71d 46m 60.0s on 2015-03-08.85120 UT.

The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.6m (the limit is 19.0m).

There are 17 images with OT on 2015-03-08.
There are 8 images without OT with 18.9 unfiltered limit on 2015-03-02.
There is OT with unfiltered m_OT=16.5 on 3 images on 2014-12-25.0448 UT(25.0494UT, 25.0539UT).
There are 6 images without OT on 2014-12-17 with 19.0 unfiltered magnitude limit.

MASTER OT J073110.47-462722.5 discovery - new CV

MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 07h 31m 10.47s -46d 27m 22.5s on 2015-03-06.86260 UT.

The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.7m (limit 18.8m).

There are 2 images with OT. There is no minor planet at this place. There no any source inside 5" in VIZIER database.

We have reference image without OT on 2015-01-11.98370 UT with 19.5 unfiltered magnitude limit.

There are 3 images of OT with m=18.5 on 2015-03-03.959UT.

There is reference image without OT on 2015-01-11.08624 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 18.9m.
