Gas absorption of soft X-rays strongly impacts the redshift distribution of dark Fast X-ray Transients

Javier Sánchez-Sierras, Peter G. Jonker, Jonathan Quirola-Vásquez +25

The progenitors of many Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) and those of -ray bursts (GRBs) are strongly linked. Given that "dark" GRBs are typically found to be events suffering from…

A JWST redshift for the host galaxy of EP250207b of z=3.2: a collapsar origin is viable

Agnes P. C. van Hoof, Peter G. Jonker, Andrew J. Levan +24

We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the field of the fast X-ray transient (FXT) detected by Einstein Probe, EP250207b, to…

Multi-wavelength Constraints on the Transient EP250905a

J. Quirola-Vasquez, P. G. Jonker, A. Levan +30

Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are a diverse class of high-energy suggested origins, ranging from stellar explosions to compact object mergers. The Einstein Probe (EP) satellite disc…

Optical observations of candidate host galaxies of eight fast X-ray transients

Agnes P. C. van Hoof, Peter G. Jonker, Lieke Tommel +15

Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are extragalactic flashes of X-rays with a typical duration of minutes to hours for which a variety of origins has been proposed and observed. To decip…

Failed jet breakout in the metal-poor broad-lined type Ic supernova 2026gzf

Antonio Martin-Carrillo, Christina C. Thöne, James K. Leung +103

A long-standing question in the death of massive stars is the role of relativistic jets. While many gamma-ray bursts and some fast X-ray transients seem to be associated with broad…

Probing a new subclass of llGRB-SN transients: Insights from EP250304a and its associated supernova

L. Cotter, A. Martin-Carrillo, R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris +62

With the advent of the Einstein Probe (EP) mission, we are entering a new era in the study of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), enabling the detection of faint, low-luminosity transients th…
