We report confirmation of Gaia Science Alerts transients Gaia15ado, Gaia15aef and Gaia15aej. Images were obtained through modified Gunn R band filter of the ECAM instrument installed on the Swiss 1.2m Euler telescope at La Silla, on 2015 April 10-14 UT. New sources are not visible in archival 2MASS and DSS images.
Gaia15ado is located on top of very faint DSS/GALEX source.
Gaia15aef is located approximately 17" N of bright 2MASS/DSS galaxy.
Gaia15aej is located 10" N of 2MASS/DSS galaxy, making it a likely SN candidate.
ECAM 400x400 pixel cut out images (modified Gunn R band) are provided at the links above (N is up and the scale is 0.215"/pix).
