Abstract
From October 2014 until now (about 10 years) we have done astronomical observations of the Gaia Alerts or Gaia Follow Up Network for Transients Objects (Gaia- FUN-TO). In 2013 we organized our local cooperation Serbian-Bulgarian mini-network telescopes to get better results. Also, the mentioned observations and investigations are in line with actual joint research SANU-BAN project Gaia astrometry and fast variable astronomical objects from 2023 to 2025; SANU-BAN are Serbian and Bulgarian Academies of Sciences. Now, there are 8 astronomical instruments at two sites in Bulgaria (at Belogradchik and Rozhen) and one site in Serbia (Astronomical Station Vidojevica - ASV). Usually, we have done ≈ 15 Gaia Alerts per year. Because of the COVID-problem, in 2021 we observed just 5 Gaia Alerts: Gaia19dke (11 times), Gaia21awo (1), Gaia21azb (13), Gaia21efs (1), and Gaia21ehu (1); ≈ 300 CCD images were done. At 2022 we did 7 Gaia Alerts: Gaia21cgt (1 time), Gaia22aeu (1), Gaia22atp (1), Gaia22btj (1), Gaia22btc (1), Gaia22dym (1), andGaia21brx (1); ≈ 70 images. During 2023, we did 12 Gaia Alerts: Gaia22ang (5 times),Gaia22dze (1), Gaia23bay (6), Gaia19dmj (2), Gaia21cgt (2), Gaia22eem (2), Gaia23afy (1), Gaia23cer (2), Gaia23cri (3), Gaia20cwd (1), Gaia23bbk (1), and Gaia23cvq (1); ≈ 300images were done using the 60 cm and 1.4 m ASV telescopes. We present some results here.
