Binary neutron star merger offsets from their host galaxies. GW 170817 as a case study
N. Gaspari, H. F. Stevance, A. J. Levan +2
Aims. The locations of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers within their host galaxies encode the systemic kicks that these systems received in the supernova aftermath. We investigate…
The Einstein Probe transient EP240414a: Linking Fast X-ray Transients, Gamma-ray Bursts and Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients
Joyce N. D. van Dalen, Andrew J. Levan, Peter G. Jonker +30
Detections of fast X-ray transients (FXTs) have been accrued over the last few decades. However, their origin has remained mysterious. There is now rapid progress thanks to timely…
Multi-wavelength observations of the Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient AT2023fhn
A. A. Chrimes, D. L. Coppejans, P. G. Jonker +4
Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients (LFBOTs) are a class of extragalactic transients notable for their rapid rise and fade times, blue colour and accompanying luminous X-ray and…
The fast X-ray transient EP240315a: a z ~ 5 gamma-ray burst in a Lyman continuum leaking galaxy
Andrew J. Levan, Peter G. Jonker, Andrea Saccardi +73
The nature of the minute-to-hour long Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) localised by telescopes such as Chandra, Swift, and XMM-Newton remains mysterious, with numerous models suggested…
