Аннотация:MASTER OT J055548.92-303053.3 discovery - ampl>6.5mag, no known optical source in VIZIER
MASTER-OAFA auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 05h 55m 48.92s -30d 30m 53.3s on 2018-10-09.22942 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 15.5m (mlim=18.6m).
The OT is seen in 3 images (2018-10-09 05:25:11,05:30:22,08:24:20.10). There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2017-11-23.29399 UT with 19.2m unfiltered magnitude limit (MASTER-OAFA), the nearest in time is reference image on 2018-09-21 00:49:34 with 2018-09-21 00:46:22 (MASTER-SAAO) with unfiltered mlim=20.0
There is no known optical sources in VIZIER database (22m POSS limit in history and more then 6.5m of current outburst amplitude, so as MASTER_W=0.2B+0.8R calibrated by USNO-B1 thousands field stars), but there is GALEX source
Spectral observations are required.
