Long GRB 250916A: an Off-axis Powerlaw Jet with Thermal Cocoon
Utkarsh Pathak, Sameer K. Patil, Hitesh Tanenia +22
Some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit precursor emission episodes preceding the main emission, with a quiescent period in between. The properties of the precursor emission and the d…
The redshift distribution of Einstein Probe transients supports their relation to gamma-ray bursts
Brendan O'Connor, Paz Beniamini, Eleonora Troja +9
The launch of the \textit{Einstein Probe} unleashed a new era of high-energy transient discovery in the largely unexplored soft X-ray band. The \textit{Einstein Probe} has detected…
A Natural Telescope: Discovery of the Strongly Lensed Type II SN 2025mkn at
Cameron Lemon, Ariel Goobar, Joel Johansson +90
We present the discovery of SN 2025mkn, a gravitationally lensed Type II supernova. First detected as a blue transient in ZTF, 0.83 from a elliptical gala…
AT2025ulz and S250818k: Deep X-ray and radio limits on off-axis afterglow emission and prospects for future discovery
Brendan O'Connor, Roberto Ricci, Eleonora Troja +15
The first joint electromagentic (EM) and gravitational wave (GW) detection, known as GW170817, marked a critical juncture in our collective understanding of compact object mergers.…
An extremely bright slow-rising afterglow from an off-axis jet in GRB 260310A
Yu-Han Yang, Roberto Ricci, Eleonora Troja +31
We present a multi-wavelength study of GRB 260310A, a nearby long-duration gamma-ray burst at associated with a broad-lined Type Ic supernova. Despite its modest pro…
The curious case of EP241021a: Unraveling the mystery of its exceptional rebrightening
Malte Busmann, Brendan O'Connor, Julian Sommer +19
Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) are a rare and poorly understood phenomenon with a variety of possible progenitors. The launch of the Einstein Probe (EP) mission has facilitated a rap…
