THE DISCOVERY OF A VARIABLE STAR CANDIDATE – XM95HT

Hanjie Tan (AUUK), Mi Zhang, Guoyou Sun, Jiangao Ruan, Jingyuan Zhao (Xingming Obs), Quanzhi Ye , Xing Gao (Xingming Obs), report the discovery of a micro-lensing candidate at 16.83 Gmag on several 60-s survey images (limit mag about 18.5) taken by Xing Gao at Xingming Observatory “#”3 (N88) around 2022 Jan.10.76080 UTC using unfiltered CCD and PAT telescope (0.3-m f/3.6 reflector). The transient is approximately located at RA= 06h03m44.17s,DEC = +21d21m48.3s (equinox 2000.0). The source appears to correspond to object Gaia DR2 3423389960580175360 (G=18.59) in the Gaia DR2.

The source has TWO brightenings spaced by ~2500 d. recorded both by ASAS-SN and WISE. The well-covered 2021 brightening shows an assymetric shape.
