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…
EP251023a: A fast X-ray transient featuring a magnetar-powered optical internal plateau followed by a steep decay
Shuai-Qing Jiang, Dong Xu, Wei-Hua Lei +33
EP251023a is an extragalactic fast X-ray transient (eFXT) detected solely by EP without a gamma-ray counterpart. The prompt emission consists of a main emission with a duration $T_…
GRB 260310A / SN 2026fgk: A Multi-Wavelength Study of a Nearby Underluminous Long GRB and SN with a Complex Afterglow
Ramandeep Gill, Rosa L. Becerra, Antonio de Ugarte Postigo +65
We present a comprehensive multi-wavelength study of GRB 260310A / SN 2026fgk, a nearby (), long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) with an exceptionally underluminous prompt…
A systematic study of AGN feedback in a disk galaxy using MACER II: predictions of X-ray surface brightness profiles and comparison with eROSITA observations
Yuxuan Zou, Feng Yuan, Suoqing Ji +6
Recently, we have performed a systematic study of AGN feedback in a disk galaxy within the MACER framework. Various model predictions, including the AGN duty cycle, the correlation…
A fast X-ray transient with chromatic flares: signatures of violent collisions induced by late-time central engine reactivation
Shao-Yu Fu, Cui-Yuan Dai, Ai-Ling Wang +57
Extragalactic Fast X-ray Transients (EFXTs) represent an emerging class of high-energy phenomena characterized by X-ray outbursts lasting from tens to hundreds of seconds. However,…
Constraints on the Hot Circumgalactic Medium around Nearby L* Galaxies from SRG/eROSITA All Sky Survey
Lin He, Zhiyuan Li
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) is a multi-phase, dynamic interface between galaxy and the intergalactic medium, providing crucial diagnostics of galaxy evolution. However, direct…
