EP241217a: a likely Type II GRB with an achromatic bump at z = 4.59
Hao Zhou, Jia Ren, Chen-Wei Wang +22
EP241217a is an X-ray transient detected by the Einstein Probe (EP) lasting for about 100 seconds and without accompanying -ray detection. The optical spectroscopy reveals the r…
Optimizing Kilonova Searches: A Case Study of the Type IIb SN 2025ulz in the Localization Volume of the Low-Significance Gravitational Wave Event S250818k
Noah Franz, Bhagya Subrayan, Charles D. Kilpatrick +54
Kilonovae, the ultraviolet/optical/infrared counterparts to binary neutron star mergers, are an exceptionally rare class of transients. Optical follow-up campaigns are plagued by c…
No Sign of a Magnetar Remnant Following the Kilonova-Producing Long GRB 211211A Years Later
Genevieve Schroeder, Ben Margalit, Brian D. Metzger +9
In addition to a -ray burst (GRB), the merger of two neutron stars may produce a temporarily or indefinitely stable neutron star remnant with a strong magnetic field (a "magneta…
Can GRB 250702B be explained as the tidal disruption of a white dwarf by an intermediate mass black hole? Yes
Rob AJ Eyles-Ferris, Andrew King, Rhaana LC Starling +11
GRB 250702B is a unique astrophysical transient characterised by its nature as a repeating gamma-ray trigger. Its properties include possible periodicity in its gamma-ray light cur…
White dwarf-neutron star binaries: a plausible pathway for long-duration gamma-ray bursts from compact object mergers?
A. A. Chrimes, N. Gaspari, A. J. Levan +7
Two long-duration gamma-ray bursts were recently discovered with kilonovae, the signature of r-process element production in a compact binary merger, rather than supernovae. This h…
The day-long, repeating GRB 250702BDE / EP250702a: A unique extragalactic transient
Andrew J. Levan, Antonio Martin-Carrillo, Tanmoy Laskar +42
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are singular outbursts of high-energy radiation with durations typically lasting from milliseconds to minutes and, in extreme cases, a few hours. They are a…
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 kangaroo's first hop: the early fast cooling phase of EP250108a/SN 2025kg
Rob A. J. Eyles-Ferris, Peter G. Jonker, Andrew J. Levan +52
Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are a rare and poorly understood population of events. Previously difficult to detect in real time, the launch of the Einstein Probe with its wide fiel…
Limits on the Ejecta Mass During the Search for Kilonovae Associated with Neutron Star-Black Hole Mergers: A case study of S230518h, GW230529, S230627c and the Low-Significance Candidate S240422ed
M. Pillas, S. Antier, K. Ackley +78
Neutron star-black hole (NSBH) mergers, detectable via their gravitational-wave (GW) emission, are expected to produce kilonovae (KNe). Four NSBH candidates have been identified an…
