[vsnet-alert 20650] Re: [cvnet-outburst] Re: PNV J16521887-3754189: new transient (12 mag) in Scorpius

[Josch Hambsch]

The behavior does not look like that of a nova, correct?

I also observed it last night remotely from Chile.
I measured it about 14.8 in B, 14.08 in V and 12 in I band
Hence very close to the magnitudes given below.

Regards,

Josch

2017 Feb. 1.862 UT, 11.7 mag (CCD, unfiltered)

Discovered by H. Nishimura, Shizuoka-ken, Japan, on three 10-s frames using 200-mm f/3.2 lens + a Canon digital camera, who writes nothing is visible at this location on his frames taken before 2017 Jan. 25.872 UT, but he found a star (mag.= 12.5) on 2017 Jan. 30.868, mag.= 12.1 on Feb. 2.857 and mag.= 12.7 on Feb. 6.836 UT.
Note a red star within several arc seconds.
Also Kaneko reports mag.= 12.1 (R 11.4, V 13.3, B 15.2) on 2017 Feb. 6.68 UT.

This transient is only 6.7' north of mu2 Scorpii (V= 3.6 mag).

Spectroscopy and time-resolved photometry are urgently required.

Clear skies,
Patrick
