\section{SNa discovery rates}  Simulations, \citet{Belokurov_et_al_2003} and updated by \citet{icella_Cappellaro_Turatto_2012} , \citet{icella_Cappellaro_Turatto_2012},  predict Gaia will see $\sim$6000 SNe down to G=19 (3/day), and twice this to G=20. One SN per day will be brighter than 18th magnitude (see Fig~\ref{SN_rate}). Fig~\ref{fig:SN_rate}).  For CVs the rate will be approximately similar, and Breedt, (priv. comm) predict Gaia should find 1000 new CVs. \citet{Belokurov_in_prep_2014} predict that Gaia will find of order 20 TDE's per year. YSO outbursts will be less common and Gaia will probably only find a few per year.
