MASTER OT J012916.47+321859.0 - FLARING RED DWARF
MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) =
01h 29m 16.47s +32d 18m 59.0s on 2014-09-29.93253 UT. The OT unfiltered
magnitude is 16.6m (limit 19.3m). The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no
minor planet at this place. A reference image was recorded without the OT on
2011 Dec 22.720UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 20.3m. The object has
shown a quick fading on the first triplet of images (180-sec exposures):
22:19:15 UT, 15.96m; 22:22:51 UT, 16.62m; 22:26:26 UT, 17.23m. It has faded
below 19.3m on the second triplet of images obtained 1.25 hr later, at
23:34:17-23:41:20 UT. 

The OT at quiescence is identical to the red star SDSS J012916.48+321858.8
(g=22.59 r=21.26 i=19.54 z=18.47) = WISE J012916.48+321858.8. The object is
not present in 2MASS, GCVS and AAVSO VSX. 

Based on the red colour and short flare duration, MASTER OT
J012916.47+321859.0 is a new variable of UV Ceti type (flaring red dwarf).
Follow up observations are encouraged. The discovery and reference images

SN 2006fp also appeared in UGC 12182 (cf. IAUC 8750, CBET 625).     W.
Zheng: spectrum June 30 peculiar type-Ia supernova about a week before
maximum. It may be a member of the type-Iax class of supernovae.

K. Takats: spectrum July 12 gives a good match to the type-IIb supernova
1993J at a month past maximum light.
