Detection of an Orphan X-ray Flare from a Blazar Candidate EP240709a with Einstein Probe

Mingjun Liu, Yijia Zhang, Yun Wang +49

Blazars are often observed to flare across multiple wavelengths. Orphan flares from blazars have been only detected a few times, providing an opportunity to understand the structur…

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…

The Soft X-ray Aspect of Gamma-ray Bursts in the Einstein Probe Era

Hao-Xuan Gao, Jin-Jun Geng, Yi-Fang Liang +6

The Einstein Probe (EP) satellite, dedicated at time-domain high-energy astrophysics and multi-messenger astronomy, was recently launched and successfully put into operation. The w…

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-…

Long-term radio monitoring of the fast X-ray transient EP240315a: evidence for a relativistic jet

R. Ricci, E. Troja, Y. Yang +7

The recent launch of Einstein Probe (EP) in early 2024 opened up a new window onto the transient X-ray sky, allowing for real-time discovery and follow-up of fast X-ray transients…

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…
