Calibration database design for the wide-field X-ray telescope on board the Einstein Probe
Huaqing Cheng, Hai-Wu Pan, Yuan Liu +6
The wide-field X-ray telescope (WXT) is the primary payload of the Einstein Probe (EP) mission. Utilizing innovative lobster-eye micro-pore optics (MPO), it achieves an unprecedent…
Onboard catalog of known X-ray sources for EP-WXT
He-Yang Liu, Haiwu Pan, Yuan Liu +14
The Einstein Probe (EP) is dedicated to explore the dynamic X-ray universe and capture transient events in real time with its Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT). However, WXT's unpre…
A fast powerful X-ray transient from possible tidal disruption of a white dwarf
Dongyue Li, Wenda Zhang, Jun Yang +97
Stars captured by black holes (BHs) can be torn apart by strong tidal forces, producing electromagnetic flares. To date, more than 100 tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been obse…
Multiwavelength Observations of the Apparently Non-repeating FRB 20250316A
Ye Li, Hui Sun, Lei Qian +72
The physical origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs) remains uncertain. Although multiwavelength observations have been widely conducted, only Galactic FRB~20200428D is associated with…
Hard X-ray Emission in AU Mic Flares: A Minor Contributor to Planetary Atmospheric Escape
Yifan Hu, Murray Brightman, Fabio Favata +7
Stellar flares are potent drivers of atmospheric evolution on orbiting exoplanets, primarily through extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray (XUV) irradiation. However, the contri…
Probing the Strong Gravity Region of Black Holes with eXTP
Qingcui Bu, Cosimo Bambi, Lijun Gou +42
We present the novel capabilities of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission to study the strong gravity region around stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binary sys…
