MASTER OT J072703.91-631952.8 - eclipsing binary with 9 year period?
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 07h 27m 03.91s -63d 19m 52.8s on 2015-10-19.02311 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.4m (limit 20.5m).
The OT is seen in 22 images.
We have reference image without OT on 2014-12-25.01565 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 20.4m.
Spectral observations are required.
There is the USNO-B1.0 star wqith R=~14 and B=~14.7 atr thgis place. We found the same low state ~3554 days (~9.4 years) ago in Catalina data base.There is GALEX source at this position. It means that we have very interesting system.
The discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/072703.91-631952.8.png
This is the 4-th antitransient discovered by MASTER (see Atel #4784 , Atel #5953, Atel #7382).
