   Both objects deserve time-resolved photometry.

   CSS J163120.9+103134 is an SU UMa-type dwarf nova.
Three past superoutbursts were observed.

During the ongoing All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN or

"Assassin"; ATel #4987, #4999, #5010, #5052, #5082, #5102, #5118, 
#5138), using data from the double 14-cm "Brutus" telescope in 
Haleakala, Hawaii, we discovered two new transients:

Object       RA (J2000)   DEC (J2000)   Disc. UT Date     Approx. Disc.
V mag  
ASASSN-13as  17:23:06.36 +17:57:55.9    2013 June 26.42      15.1  
ASASSN-13at  18:21:22.49 +61:48 56.0    2013 June 26.40      14.5 

ASASSN-13as was present in images obtained 2013 UT June 26.42 but 
undetected (V > 17) on 2013 UT June 24. Vizier reveals an optical 
source with B = 20.5 detected 1.3" from our ASAS-SN position in the 
USNO-B1 catalog. There is also a 1.5" match to a faint GALEX source. 
ASASSN-13as is most likely a CV in an outburst.

ASASSN-13at was detected in images obtained 2013 UT June 26.40 and also

present with V~16.0 on 2013 UT June 22 but undetected (V > 17) on 2013

UT June 20. Vizier reveals an optical source with B = 19.5 detected 
0.5" from our ASAS-SN position in the USNO-B1 catalog. There is also a

0.9" match to a faint GALEX source.  ASASSN-13at is most likely a CV 
in an outburst.

In addition, new outbursts were detected from four known CVs: 

Object                   RA (J2000)   DEC (J2000)    Detect. UT Date  
Approx. V mag  
CSS080505:163121+103134  16:31:20.87 +10:31:35.2    2013 June 25.35

NOVA Ser 1903            16:19:17.68 -02:29:28.5    2013 June 26.41

TW Tri                   01:36:37.05 +32:00:40.4    2013 June 26.55   
14.1  

NOVA Ser 1903, also known as X Ser, was previously detected as 
CSS090816:161918-022929 and also had an AAVSO-detected outburst in May

2012. TW Tri shows numerous outbursts in ASAS-SN data, most recently 
on 2013 UT June 13.

In general, ASAS-SN will not be announcing new outbursts of known CVs 
via ATel, unless they are particularly noteworthy. Such detections 
will however be announced via "ASAS-SN Transients" website at 
http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~assassin/transients.html 
and you can also send an e-mail to stanek.32 at osu.edu if you would like

to be notified of future ASAS-SN detections.

We note that ASASSN-13ap (ATel #5118) was discovered by the CRTS 
Survey as CSS130529:135642+613025. We thank A. Drake for pointing that

out.
