Narrative:

Taking off; I was pilot not flying; at approximately 600 ft AGL we experienced a compressor stall on the right engine. [It was a] very loud bang and an aggressive yaw. We weighed 222.5 and had done a max EPR takeoff of 1.45 EPR. The captain continued to fly the airplane as we both analyzed the situation. We both confirmed it was the right engine so the captain retarded the right throttle. We set up for a V2 cut climb with a 200 FPM vertical speed. I talked to ATC (declared an emergency) and got a safe heading and a climb to 3;000 ft. I then ran the QRH for engine surge and/or stall. The engine recovered and operated normal after accomplishing the steps in the QRH by advancing the throttle. We determined that proceeding to [a nearby airport] was the most prudent course of action due to heavy weight and longer runway. After telling ATC our plan to go to [a nearby airport]; I contacted dispatch and talked to the flight attendants and the passengers. The captain briefed the approach to runway 25 and we ran the appropriate checklists for the approach and landing. From that point on; it was a very normal approach and landing into 25. We taxied to the gate as fire equipment followed.

Title: A B757 had a compressor stall on takeoff so the crew completed the QRH; declared an emergency and diverted to a nearby airport with a long runway where normal landing was made with two engines.
