EP 250108a/SN 2025kg: Observations of the most nearby Broad-Line Type Ic Supernova following an Einstein Probe Fast X-ray Transient
J. C. Rastinejad, A. J. Levan, P. G. Jonker +66
With a small sample of fast X-ray transients (FXTs) with multi-wavelength counterparts discovered to date, the progenitors of FXTs and their connections to gamma-ray bursts (GRBs)…
The Jetted Tidal Disruption Event AT2022cmc: Investigating Connections to the Optical Tidal Disruption Event Population and Spectral Subclasses Through Late-Time Follow-up
Erica Hammerstein, S. Bradley Cenko, Igor Andreoni +14
AT2022cmc is the first on-axis jetted tidal disruption event (TDE) to be discovered at optical wavelengths. The optically bright nature of AT2022cmc presents an unprecedented oppor…
From precursor to afterglow: The complex evolution of GRB 210312B
M. JelÃnek, S. A. Grebenev, P. Yu. Minaev +15
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are characterized by a brief gamma-ray flash followed by a longer-lasting multiwavelength afterglow. The basic mechanism is largely understood, and the…
The puzzling long GRB 191019A: Evidence for Kilonova Light
G. Stratta, A. M. Nicuesa Guelbenzu, S. Klose +11
GRB 191019A was a long Gamma-ray burst (GRB) lasting about 65 s and, as such, originally thought to be linked to a core-collapse supernova. However, even though follow-up observati…
GRB 211024B: an ultra-long GRB powered by magnetar
Shao-Yu Fu, Dong Xu, Wei-Hua Lei +15
Ultra-long gamma-ray bursts (ULGRBs) are characterized by exceptionally long-duration central engine activities, with characteristic timescales exceeding 1000 seconds. We present g…
