TNS Astronomical Transient Report No. 16673 [ 2018TNSTR.132....1S ]
Date Received (UTC): 2018-01-29 21:28:05
Sender: Prof. Krzysztof Stanek
Reporting Group: ASAS-SN Discovery Data Source: ASAS-SN
K. Z. Stanek, for the ASAS-SN team report/s the discovery of a new astronomical transient.
IAU Designation: AT 2018ly
Discoverer internal name: ASASSN-18bp
Coordinates (J2000): RA = 08:46:44.803 (131.68668) DEC = -13:49:00.84 (-13.8169)
Discovery date: 2018-01-29 01:40:48.000 (JD=2458147.57)
Remarks: In several epochs, no match in Vizier or PS1 images, so might be a CV, but also could be a "hostless" supernova
