AST3#2 OT J024453.11-580940.1 discovery - new dwarf nova outburst with ampl>5.8
The 2nd Antarctic Survey Telescope (AST3#2) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 02:44:53.11 -58:09:40.1 on 2016-05-06.071 UT with Sloan-g magnitude of 15.5m (limit 18.6m). And there is no minor planet at this
place.
The OT was detected with the g-magnitude of 15.8 on 5.126UT, then becomes 15.6 mag on 7.184UT, and 15.7 mag on 8.589UT.
The OT was not detected on 2.654UT with g-magnitude limit 17.6m, nor on 1.643UT with g-magnitude limit 18.3m.
It matches a GSC 2.3.2 star with Bj=21.32, i.e. the amplitude of outburst is more than 5.8m. And there is a GALEX source in 0.4".
Spectral observations are required.
The discovery and reference images are available at http://aag.bao.ac.cn/mabin/varcheck/160506/rank2/diff_bi_0240-5933_160506.014335_1x1_1_1_1.jpg .
AST3#2 OT J054457.27-522430.1 discovery - new dwarf nova outburst with ampl>5
The 2nd Antarctic Survey Telescope (AST3#2) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 05:44:57.27 -52:24:30.1 on 2016-05-08.789 UT with Sloan-g magnitude of 16.56 (limit 18.8m). And there is no minor planet at this
place.
The OT becomes 17.50 mag on 9.597UT.
The OT was not detected on 7.657UT with g-magnitude limit 18.6m, nor on 6.588UT with g-magnitude limit 18.9m.
It matches a GSC 2.3.2 star with Bj=22.57, and a Blanco Cosmology Survey star with g=21.59, i.e. the amplitude of outburst is more than 5.8m. And there is a GALEX source in 0.5".
Spectral observations are required.

AST3#2 OT J213948.19-595933.0 discovery - known dwarf nova outburst with ampl>2
The 2nd Antarctic Survey Telescope (AST3#2) discovered OT source at(RA, Dec) = 21:39:48.19 -59:59:33.0 on 2016-05-09.037UT with Sloan-g magnitude of 17.55 (limit 19.1m). And there is no minor planet at this
place.
The OT was not detected on 7.153UT with g-magnitude limit 18.5m, nor on 6.040UT with g-magnitude limit 18.7m.
It matches a GSC 2.3.2 star with Bj=19.58. And there is a GALEX source in 2.8".
There is previous outburst reported as ASASSN-14cc, when the magnitude range was 15.8 to 19.8.
Spectral observations are required.
