Three new MASTER CVs
ATEL #5898
MASTER OT J054111.82+454054.9 - possible new CV
MASTER-Amur auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) =
05h 41m 11.82s +45d 40m 54.9s on 2014-02-16.45971 UT. The OT
unfiltered magnitude is 15.8m (limit 17.7m). The OT is seen in 2
images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference
image without OT on 2012-10-18.64654 UT with unfiltered magnitude
limit 18.6m.
The OT at quiescence is identical to the blue star USNO-B1.0
1356-0161028 (05 41 11.816 +45 40 56.27 pmRA=2 pmDE=30 B1=19.44
R2=20.16 I=18.38) = <a
href="http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?id=1237653742020986631">SDSS
J054111.84+454055.3</a> (u=20.54 g=20.50 r=20.23 i=19.74 z=19.51).
There is nothing at this position in 1RXS, GALEX, 2MASS, GCVS and
AAVSO VSX. Object was at minimum light on 6 DSS plates and on 4 NEAT
images. This area of sky in Auriga is not covered by CRTS.
Based on the blue color and amplitude of variability (~5m), MASTER OT
J054111.82+454054.9 is likely a dwarf nova of UGSU (SU UMa) type in
superoutburst. Follow up observations are required. The discovery and
reference images are available at:

ATEL #5899
MASTER OT J163152.63+300645.1 - new CV
MASTER-Amur auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) =
16h 31m 52.63s +30d 06m 45.1s on 2014-02-16.81234 UT. The OT
unfiltered magnitude is 15.7m (limit 17.1m). The OT is seen in 4
images. We have reference
image without OT on 2012-09-05.48694 UT with unfiltered magnitude
limit 18.7m. The object was observed in outbursts to 15.7m on
MASTER-Amur single images of 2010-06-09.712 UT and 2012-12-19.900 UT,
but was not detected as a transient then.
The OT at quiescence is identical to the blue star USNO-B1.0
1201-0247710 (16 31 52.665 +30 06 46.55 B1=20.37 B2=20.73) = <a
href="http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?id=1237662499473588338">SDSS
J163152.66+300646.1</a> (u=17.23 g=16.83 r=17.08 i=17.27 z=17.39). The
star was definitely in another outburst during SDSS observations.

J163152.7+300646</a> (FUV=21.22+/-0.40 NUV=20.74+/-0.22) and <a

J163152.6+300647</a> (FUV=20.78+/-0.28 NUV=20.49+/-0.11).
There is nothing at this position in 1RXS, 2MASS, GCVS and AAVSO VSX.
There is a faint X-ray source in Swift XRT point source catalogue
1SXPS J163152.7+300643 with the flux 0.00099 (+0.00040/-0.00034)
cnts/s.
Catalina Sky Survey observed this area of sky in Hercules with 77
positive detections from April 2005 to Sep. 2013. Most of time the object
is varying between
20-21m with one outburst to 16.3-16.4m on 2011 May 20.
Based on the blue color and outburst amplitude (~5m), MASTER OT
J163152.63+300645.1 is most likely a dwarf nova of SU UMa (UGSU) type
in superoutburst. Follow up observations are required. The discovery
and reference images are available at:

ATEL #5900
MASTER OT J065921.17+102943.0 - possible Cataclysmic Variable
MASTER-Amur auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 06h
59m 21.17s +10d 29m 43.0s on 2014-02-18.50572 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude
is 15.6m (limit 17.5m). The OT is seen in 2 images. There is no minor planet
at this place. We have reference image without OT on 2012-09-24.83476 UT
with unfiltered magnitude limit 18.3m.
The OT at quiescence is identical to the blue star USNO-B1.0 1004-0122737
(06 59 21.152 +10 29 43.43 pmRA=8 pmDE=-8 B1=19.35 R1=N/A B2=19.40 R2=17.19
I=18.75). Color-combined (BRIR) finder chart is uploaded to http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/
OT/J065921+102943-BRIR5x5.jpg
(2x zoom). The object is showing the large variability between 1st and
2nd epoch Palomar plates. Comparison of POSS-I and POSS-II red plates is
posted at http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/J065921+102943-POSS-Red.jpg
There is nothing at this position in 1RXS, 2MASS, GCVS and AAVSO VSX. This
area of sky in Monoceros is not covered by GALEX, SDSS and CRTS.
Based on the proper motion and amplitude of variability, MASTER OT J065921.17+102943.0
is most likely a cataclysmic variable. Follow up observations are required.
