Follow-up studies of Gaia transients at the Terskol Observatory
Abstract
Since 2015, scientific activities at the Terskol Observatory have been aimed at optical follow-up of stellar objects and asteroids detected within the framework of the Gaia mission. Two years of successful research have yielded new data and findings in this field. Photometric observations of Gaia transients allowed us to reveal physical characteristics of a good few of them. Moreover, we detected positions of dozens of asteroids which were reported by the GBOT group. In this paper, some results obtained from observations of transients Gaia16bkf, Gaia16bkn, Gaia17asz and newly detected asteroids are presented.
