MASTER OT J131840.22+675423.7 discovery - QSO flare
MASTER-Tunka auto-detection system (
Lipunov et al., Advances in Astronomy, MASTER Global Robotic Net, 2010 ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 13h 18m 40.22s +67d 54m 23.7s on 2015-03-22.73999 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.1m (the limit is 20.2m).
There are 4 images with OT. We have reference image without OT on 2012-02-27.86169 UT with 19.8 unfiltered magnitude limit in MASTER-Tunka database.
This MASTER OT is identical to 7625693 source from QSO candidates sel. (D'Abrusco+, 2009) with r_mag=20.832, g_mag=20.80, so this MASTER OT is a QSO flare (ampl ~ 2m).
The discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/MASTERJ131840.22+675423.7.jpg
Spectral observations are required.
MASTER OT J132723.53+674411.9 discovery - possible Superluminous SN or Dwarf Nova
MASTER-Tunka auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 13h 27m 23.53s +67d 44m 11.9s on 2015-03-22.74807 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 19.3m (the limit is 20.1m).
The OT is seen in 6 images. We have reference image without OT on 2012-02-27.862 UT with 19.8 unfiltered magnitude limit.
There is SDSS J132723.50+674414.5 galaxy (release 9) with g_mag=22.141, r_mag=22.353, so MASTER OT can be superluminous SN (ampl is about 3m). There is a
star from SDSS 12 release, in this case MASTER OT can be Dwarf Nova (ampl~3m).

Spectral observations are required.
