MASTER OT J163946.76-614600.6 detection - possible dwarf nova outburst, Ampl>3.4m

MASTER-OAFA auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 16h 39m 46.76s -61d 46m 00.6s on 2017-01-12.35470 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 15.3m (limit 17.1m).
The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2016-10-02.03574 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit=18.7m.
There is USNO-B1 star with R1= B2! = 17.6 (previous outburst in 1980?)
Spectral observations are required.

MASTER OT J052258.93-340711.1 discovery - new OT, no VIZIER data, Ampl>4.5m

MASTER-OAFA auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 05h 22m 58.93s -34d 07m 11.1s on 2017-01-10.31794UT with unfiltered m_OT=18.5. The second image is on 2017-01-10.32863 UT with m_OT=17.5 (limit 19.3m).
We have only 2 images per that night. There is no minor planet at this place. The nearest in time image is on 2017-01-13 06:21:29UT with mlim=18.0 without OT.
We have reference image without OT on 2016-10-06.35672 UT with unfiltered mlim=20.6m.
There is no known sources in VIZIER database, it means 22mag POSS limit and more then 4.5mag amplitude of current outburst
Deep photometry is required.

MASTER090525.27+405055.2 optical flare detection

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 09h 05m 25.27s +40d 50m 55.2s on 2017-01-07.00743 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 19.9m (limit 20.4m).
The second image is on 2017-01-07.02318UT with m_OT = 19.0 - possible UVCet?
We have reference image without OT on 2016-10-31.99897 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 20.1m, on 2017-01-08 19:42:47UT with mlim=19.3.
There is red star in 1.8" http://skyserver.sdss.org/dr9/en/tools/quicklook/quickobj.asp?id=1237657629514072391
Spectral observations are required.
