Jiangao Ruan and Xing Gao report/s the discovery of a new astronomical transient.
IAU Designation: AT 2019bsd
Discoverer internal name: XM363JR
Coordinates (J2000): RA = 00:42:19.990 (10.583292) DEC = +41:13:22.50 (41.222917)
Discovery date: 2019-03-13 13:54:59.000 (JD=2458556.0798495)
Potential host galaxy: M31
Remarks: Jiangao Ruan and Xing Gao, report the discovery of a possible nova (mag approximately 18.8) on severl 300-s survey images (limiting mag about 20.5) taken by Xing Gao in Xingming Observatory Sky Survey(C42) around Mar. 13.57985 UT using a unfiltered CCD ( + 0.6-m f/8 Ritchey-Chretien telescope). The transient approximately located at R.A.=00h42m19.99s +41d13'22".5 (equinox 2000.0). Which is about 274.3" west and 166" south of the center of the NGC224(M31). Nothing is visible at this position on archival images taken on Mar. 11.59387 (limiting mag 19.5).
