MASTER OT J042250.16-820415.4 discovery - PSN in low surface brightness
galaxy
MASTER-OAFA (Argentina, San Huan Uni) auto-detection system discovered OT
source at (RA, Dec) = 04h 22m 50.16s -82d 04m 15.4s on 2017-02-19.12023
UT during LIGO/VIRGO alert inspection (Peter Shawhan, GCN 20689) .
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 15.9m (limit 20.0m).
The OT is seen in 2 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2016-09-25 03:50:02 UT with
unfiltered magnitude limit 20.0m.
There is Galalaxy ESO 15-10 with offset:P d_ra 0.1E ddec 1.6N.
Spectral observations are required.
The discovery and reference images are available at:
