We report confirmation of Gaia Science Alerts transients Gaia15adi and Gaia15ady. 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 March 21 - April 16 UT.
Gaia15adi is located approximately 4.5" SE of 2MFGC 16508 edge-on galaxy. This new source is not visible in archival 2MASS and DSS images.
Gaia15ady is located approximately 2.5" NE of 2MASX J05012471-0955560 galaxy.
ECAM modified Gunn R band 400x400 pixel cut out images are provided at the links above (N is up and the scale is 0.215"/pix).
