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-…
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-…
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…
Triggering the Untriggered: The First Einstein Probe-Detected Gamma-Ray Burst 240219A and Its Implications
Yi-Han Iris Yin, Bin-Bin Zhang, Jun Yang +49
The Einstein Probe (EP) achieved its first detection and localization of a bright X-ray flare, EP240219a, on 2024 February 19, during its commissioning phase. Subsequent targeted s…
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…
Future Perspectives for Gamma-ray Burst Detection from Space
Enrico Bozzo, Lorenzo Amati, Wayne Baumgartner +35
Since their first discovery in the late 1960s, Gamma-ray bursts have attracted an exponentially growing interest from the international community due to their central role in the m…
