We report confirmation of Gaia Science Alerts transients Gaia16aas, Gaia16ade and Gaia16adz. 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 2016 February 18 - 24 UT.
These new sources are cataclysmic variable star candidates and they are not visible in archival 2MASS and DSS images: Gaia16aas, Gaia16ade and Gaia16adz. ECAM modified Gunn R band 800x600 pixel cut out image is provided at the previous links (N is up, E is left, the scale is 0.215"/pix, dead pixels are masked and represented with a white colour).
