Einstein Probe discovery of the magnetar EP J223759.5+531421
N. Rea, F. Coti Zelati, A. Borghese +44
We report the discovery and early outburst evolution of the new Galactic magnetar EP J223759.5+531421, detected by the Einstein Probe Wide-field X-ray Telescope on 2026 June 28. Fo…
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-ray Activity of the RS CVn-type Star σ Gem with the First-Year Observations of Einstein Probe
Xuan Mao, Giuseppina Micela, Fabio Favata +3
Context. Stellar flares are energetic events driven by the sudden release of magnetic energy in the stellar atmosphere. Studying these flares is crucial for understanding their imp…
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…
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…
Spin-Orbit Geometry of AU Mic b and c from Back-to-Back Transits Observed Contemporaneously with Magellan PFS, LCOGT, and CHEOPS
Zitao Lin, Gyula M. Szabó, Krzysztof Sz. Zieliński +37
Young planets offer a unique window into the early stages of planetary evolution. AU Mic is one of the nearest (9.8 pc) pre-main sequence stars (~20 Myr), hosting two transiting Ne…
Nature of HD 251108: an RS CVn binary with a long-term evolving spot
Xinlin Zhao, Song Wang, B. Fuhrmeister +5
Recently, the Lobster Eye Imager for Astronomy (LEIA) detected the longest-lasting and most energetic stellar X-ray flare event from HD 251108. In this work, we re-determined the a…
Multi-wavelength Study of A Superflare on RS CVn-type Star HD22468 Triggered at Hard X-ray by SVOM
J. Wang, W. J. Xie, F. Cangemi +36
Detection of stellar flares at hard X-ray is still rare at the current stage. A transient was recently detected by the hard X-ray camera, ECLAIRs onboard the SVOM mission at 11:39:…
An Intermediate-mass Black Hole Lurking in A Galactic Halo Caught Alive during Outburst
C. -C. Jin, D. -Y. Li, N. Jiang +137
Stellar-mass and supermassive black holes abound in the Universe, whereas intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) of ~10^2-10^5 solar masses in between are largely missing observatio…
Einstein Probe discovery of EP240408a: a peculiar X-ray transient with an intermediate timescale
Wenda Zhang, Weimin Yuan, Zhixing Ling +136
We report the discovery of a peculiar X-ray transient, EP240408a, by Einstein Probe (EP) and follow-up studies made with EP, Swift, NICER, GROND, ATCA and other ground-based multi-…
Potential Chromospheric Evaporation in A M-dwarf's Flare Triggered by Einstein Probe Mission
J. Wang, X. Mao, C. Gao +12
Although flares from late-type main-sequence stars have been frequently detected in multi-wavelength, the associated dynamical process has been rarely reported so far. Here, we rep…
LEIA discovery of the longest-lasting and most energetic stellar X-ray flare ever detected
Xuan Mao, He-Yang Liu, Song Wang +40
The Lobster Eye Imager for Astronomy (LEIA) detected a new X-ray transient on 2022 November 7, identified as a superflare event occurring on a nearby K-type giant star HD 251108. T…
A fast X-ray transient from a weak relativistic jet associated with a type Ic-BL supernova
H. Sun, W. -X. Li, L. -D. Liu +163
Massive stars end their lives as core-collapse supernovae, amongst which some extremes are broad-lined type Ic supernovae from Wolf-Rayet stars associated with long-duration gamma-…
Soft X-ray prompt emission from a high-redshift gamma-ray burst EP240315a
Y. Liu, H. Sun, D. Xu +191
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are believed to originate from core collapse of massive stars. High-redshift GRBs can probe the star formation and reionization history of the early un…
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…
