Scientific paper

We report serendipitous GALEX observations of the extremely luminous optical transient CSS100217:102913+404220 discovered by CRTS (ATEL #2544). The object was detected on 24 April 2004 by the All Sky Imaging Survey with FUV = 19.52 and NUV = 18.978, and on 29 January 2010 by the Medium Imaging Survey with NUV = 17.078 (the FUV detector was temporarily not operational). The brightening of the object by 1.9 mag in the NUV corresponds to a transient source with NUV = 17.285 close to the time of the optical peak.
