ASASSN-14GZ
A. B. Davis (Ohio State) et. al., report that during the ongoing All Sky
Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN or "Assassin"), using data from the
quadruple 14-cm "Brutus" telescope in
Haleakala, Hawaii, they discovered a new transient source:

Object       RA (J2000)     DEC (J2000)  Disc. UT Date  Disc. V mag

ASASSN-14gz  17:23:25.95   +33:04:12.08  2014-09-09.26     14.2  

They did not detect this object (V>16.5) in images taken on 2014 UT
September 8.29 and before. There is a faint blue (g=21.9, r=21.8) SDSS
source 2" away, for which there is an archival SDSS/BOSS emission-line
spectrum taken in quiescence classifying it as a CV.  

Given the large amplitude of its outburst, ASASSN-14gz may be a WZ Sge-type
dwarf nova, caught very early. We thank LCOGT and its staff for their
continued support of ASAS-SN.
