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
15.5
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.
