What Are Gaia Alerts?
The Gaia Alerts project is working to find transient events in the data from Gaia, and announce them to the wold in real time.
Why Are We Looking?
Some of the most interesting things that Gaia will see are described here.
Gaia Observation Story
From Gaia observations from space and ground-based follow-up of Gaia Alerts.
Why We Take More Images
We can use telescopes around the world to take images over time to see how the object changes.
Why We Take Spectroscopy
By taking a spectrum, we can gain valuable clues as to the true nature of an object.
