MASTER OT J002521.98+545036.7 - bright dwarf nova outburst (15.5m, Ampl>3.5m) with previous outbursts in 2011 and 2013
MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., Advances in Astronomy, MASTER Global Robotic Net, 2010 ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 00h 25m 21.98s +54d 50m 36.7s on 2015-08-31.88513 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 15.5m (limit 18.2m).
The OT is seen in 2 images. There is no minor planet at this place. There is an USNO star in 1.6-2" with B2=19.72,R2=18.74, I=18.08. We have reference image on 2012-09-04.01507 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 18.6m. There are previous outbursts in MASTER-Tunka database on 2011-10-31.600 with unfiltered m_OT=15.2, and on 2013-11-20.593 with unfiltered m_OT=15.7 and about 50 images without OT with 19.2-19.4 unfiltered mag limit between 2011, 2013 and current outburst in MASTER-Tunka and MASTER-Kislovodsk database.
So we can suggest dwarf nova outburst with amplitude more then 3.5m.
Spectral observations are required.
