Additional outburst (15.7 mag) for ASASSN-13ao was recorded
by CRTS. Also another outburst (15.2 mag) for ASASSN-13aq
was detected by CRTS. ASASSN-13ao is a good candidate SU UMa-type
according to the SDSS colors.

During the ongoing All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN or
"Assassin"; ATel #4987, #4999, #5010, #5052, #5082, #5102), using data
from the double 14-cm "Brutus" telescope in Haleakala, Hawaii, we
discovered three new transients:
Object RA (J2000) DEC (J2000) Disc. UT Date Approx. Disc.
V mag
ASASSN-13ao 12:43:12.05 +43:31:59.9 2013 June 8.28 15.1
ASASSN-13ap 13:56:42.41 +61:30:23.9 2013 June 8.34 16.3
ASASSN-13aq 15:57:59.37 -04:24:15.6 2013 June 9.38 15.7
ASASSN-13ao was present in images obtained 2013 UT June 08.28 but
undetected (V > 17) on 2013 UT May 31. Vizier reveals an optical
source with B = 20.5 detected 0.3" from our ASAS-SN position in the
USNO-B1 catalog. There is also a 0.4" SDSS match with a blue, g=21.2
star. ASASSN-13ao is most likely a CV in a strong outburst.
ASASSN-13ap was present in images obtained 2013 UT June 08.34 but
undetected (V > 17) on 2013 UT May 24. Vizier reveals an optical
source with B = 21.2 detected 0.8" from our ASAS-SN position in the
USNO-B1 catalog. There is also a 0.5" SDSS match with a blue, g=21.1
star. ASASSN-13ao is most likely a CV in outburst.
ASASSN-13aq was present in images obtained 2013 UT June 05.40 and June
09.38 but undetected (V > 17) on 2013 UT May 31. Vizier reveals an
optical source with B = 21.0 detected 1.5" from our ASAS-SN position
in the USNO-B1 catalog. ASASSN-13aq is most likely a CV in outburst.
