\section{Potential Triggers} Potential triggers for the the Gaia science alerts are objects of scientific interest which would benefit from fast ground based follow-up, as just discussed. Some examples of sources which maybe potential triggers include supernovae, super-luminous supernovae, tidal disruption events, cataclysmic variables, outbursts and eclipses from young stellar objects, X-ray binaries, microlensing events and other theoretical or unexpected phenomena. Figrue~\ref{fig:triggers} shows some of these potential triggers and the area of parameter space they occupy for their brightness as a function of duration.
