New JWST redshifts for the host galaxies of CDF-S XT1 and XT2: understanding their nature
J. Quirola-Vásquez, F. E. Bauer, P. G. Jonker +6
CDF-S XT1 and XT2 are considered two canonical extragalactic fast X-ray transients (FXTs). In this work, we report new constraints on both FXTs, based on recent JWST NIRCam and MIR…
The Einstein Probe transient EP240414a: Linking Fast X-ray Transients, Gamma-ray Bursts and Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients
Joyce N. D. van Dalen, Andrew J. Levan, Peter G. Jonker +30
Detections of fast X-ray transients (FXTs) have been accrued over the last few decades. However, their origin has remained mysterious. There is now rapid progress thanks to timely…
Redshifts of candidate host galaxies of four fast X-ray transients using VLT/MUSE
Anne Inkenhaag, Peter G. Jonker, Andrew J. Levan +3
Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are X-ray flares lasting minutes to hours. Multi-wavelength counterparts to these FXTs have been proven hard to find. As a result distance measurements…
Investigating the off-axis GRB afterglow scenario for extragalactic fast X-ray transients
H. C. I. Wichern, M. E. Ravasio, P. G. Jonker +4
Extragalactic fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are short-duration ( ks) X-ray flashes of unknown origin, potentially arising from binary neutron star mergers. We investigate the…
