A superflare of BP Tau simultaneously caught by EP X-ray and TESS optical observations

Xingyu Zhou, Mingjun Liu, Gregory J. Herczeg +10

Multiwavelength observations of stellar flares trace the activity of different components of the stars' outer atmosphere, providing insight into their interactions. In the present…

X-rays breaking out of pre-explosion ejecta mark a supernova's first light

Weimin Yuan, Qiu-Ju Huang, Jin-Ping Zhu +130

Massive stars die as core-collapse supernovae, whose optical light emerges days after the implosion. Theory predicts that the initial collapse-driven shock, upon breaking through t…

M-EPDet: Real-Time Real-Bogus Classification and Transient Candidate Judgement for the EP-WXT Pipeline via Multi-Modal Data

Lang Chen, Yunfei Xu, Zhen Zhang +8

The Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) onboard the Einstein Probe (EP) produces a large post-detection candidate stream in which genuine astrophysical sources coexist with instrument…

An Archival Optical Counterpart Search for Extragalactic Fast X-Ray Transients Discovered by Einstein Probe

Run-Duo Liang, Wen-Xiong Li, Liang-Duan Liu +50

Extragalactic fast X-ray transients (eFXTs) represent a rapidly growing class of high-energy phenomena, whose physical origins remain poorly understood. With its wide-field, sensit…

Minutes-long soft X-ray prompt emission from a compact object merger

An Li, Chen-Wei Wang, Niccolò Passaleva +75

Compact object mergers are multi-messenger sources and known progenitors of some gamma-ray bursts, bright flashes of high-energy radiation powered by a central engine, either an ac…
