The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) is working towards imaging the entire visible sky every night to a depth of V~17 mag. The present data covers the sky and spans ~2-5~years with ~100-400 epochs of observation. The data should contain some ~1 million variable sources, and the ultimate goal is to have a database of these observations publicly accessible. We describe here a first step, a simple but unprecedented web interface https://asas-sn.osu.edu/ that provides an up to date aperture photometry light curve for any user-selected sky coordinate. Because the light curves are produced in real time, this web tool is relatively slow and can only be used for small samples of objects. However, it also imposes no selection bias on the part of the ASAS-SN team, allowing the user to obtain a light curve for any point on the celestial sphere. We present the tool, describe its capabilities, limitations, and known issues, and provide a few illustrative examples.

Gaia21bja: pre-main sequence star with quasi-periodic bursts
Gaia21bja is identified as a pre-main sequence star with quasi-periodic bursts, showing spectral features and a 5.5-6 times higher accretion rate during outbursts that place it in the periodic category of outbursting YSOs.

The Recurrent Nova Population in M31
M31 hosts at least 20 recurrent novae with 79 total eruptions; half recur faster than the shortest Galactic example, while light-curve and spatial properties match the Milky Way population.
