Please expand this section with your favourite types of possible alerts. The most useful information would be the number statistics, amplitude and timescale, example light curve, spectrum and the reasoning for an rapid alert.

Possible triggers for Science Alerts


Table of transients

This table is based on Rau et al. 2009 on Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). MR is an absolute magnitude in R, tau is time of a decline by 2 mag. Note, these are not all the types of transites Gaia will detect.
