MASTER OT J030205.67+254834.3 discovery - 13.7m dwarf nova outburst with Ampl>6.4m
MASTER-IAC auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net",
Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 03h 02m 05.67s +25d 48m 34.3s on 2016-12-04.96045 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 13.7m (m_limit=20.3m).
The OT is seen in 4 images during MASTER-IAC survey and on 2 images in MASTER-Tunka on 2016-12-05 10:56:11.996UT.
We have reference image without OT on 2016-01-05.01958 UT with m_OT=20.6+-0.4 and unfiltered magnitude limit 21.5m.
This OT is in 19.6E,57.8N from PGC090653 galaxy with Btot=16.8+-0.5. We have reference image in MASTER-SAAO on 2016-11-18 20:24:03UT with mlim=20.6 and m_OT~20.6, it means, that there was no enough time to be a superluminous SN in classic scenario.
Spectral observations are required.
