EP250827b/SN 2025wkm: An X-ray Flash-Supernova Powered by a Central Engine and Circumstellar Interaction
Gokul P. Srinivasaragavan, Dongyue Li, Xander J. Hall +100
We present the discovery of EP250827b/SN 2025wkm, an X-ray Flash (XRF) discovered by the Einstein Probe (EP), accompanied by a broad-line Type Ic supernova (SN Ic-BL) at $z = 0.119…
Spectrophotometric evidence for a metal-bearing, carbonaceous, and pristine interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS
Josep M. Trigo-Rodríguez, Maria Gritsevich, Jürgen Blum
3I/ATLAS is only the second confirmed cometary object known to enter the Solar System from interstellar space. Cosmogonic considerations suggest that this body may possess relative…
Assessing the metal and rare earth element mining potential of undifferentiated asteroids through the study of carbonaceous chondrites
Josep M. Trigo-Rodríguez, Pau Grèbol-Tomàs, Jordi Ibáñez-Insa +2
Undifferentiated asteroids, particularly the parent bodies of carbon-rich chondrite groups, might be promising candidates for future space resource utilization due to their primiti…
Exploring the connection between compact object mergers and fast X-ray transients: The cases of LXT 240402A and EP250207b
R. L. Becerra, Yu-Han Yang, Eleonora Troja +29
The connection between compact object mergers and some extragalactic fast X-ray transients (FXRTs) has long been hypothesized, but never ultimately established. In this work, we in…
Deciphering the Physical Origin of GRB 240825A: A Long GRB Lacking a Bright Supernova
Rahul Gupta, Judith L. Racusin, R. Sanchez-Ramirez +54
We present a comprehensive multiwavelength analysis of GRB 240825A, a bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) detected by Fermi and Swift, with a prompt duration ( 4 sec in…
Lunar exosphere dynamics at the north pole following Perseid 2009 meteoroid impacts
Alexey A. Berezhnoy, Maria Gritsevich, Ekaterina A. Feoktistova +3
Observations of the lunar exosphere provide valuable insights into dynamic processes affecting the Moon, such as meteoroid bombardment. The Chamberlain model was employed to estima…
Spectral Hardening Reveals Afterglow Emergence in Long-Duration Fast X-ray Transients: A Case Study of GRB 250404A/EP250404a
Yi-Han Iris Yin, Yuan Fang, Bin-Bin Zhang +56
The prompt emission and afterglow phases of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been extensively studied, yet the transition between these two phases remains inadequately characterized du…
Inferring Fireball Velocity Profiles and Characteristic Parameters of Meteoroids from Incomplete Datasets
Eloy Peña-Asensio, Maria Gritsevich
Extracting additional information from old or incomplete fireball datasets remains a challenge. To address missing point-by-point observations, we introduce a method for estimating…
The soft X-ray transient EP241021a: A cosmic explosion with a complex off-axis jet and cocoon from a massive progenitor
Giulia Gianfagna, Luigi Piro, Gabriele Bruni +22
X-ray flashes (XRFs) are fast X-ray transients thought to be softer analogs of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). With its soft X-ray sensitivity, the Einstein Probe (EP) provides a unique o…
An extremely soft and weak fast X-ray transient associated with a luminous supernova
W. -X. Li, Z. -P. Zhu, X. -Z. Zou +101
Long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs), including their subclasses of low-luminosity GRBs (LL-GRBs) and X-ray flashes (XRFs) characterized by low spectral peak energies, are known to be ass…
Cometary Observations in Light-Polluted Environments: A case study of Interstellar Comet 2I/Borisov
Josep M. Trigo-Rodríguez, Damya Souami, Maria Gritsevich +2
Comets and asteroids have long captured human curiosity, and until recently, all documented examples belonged to our Solar System. That changed with the discovery of the first know…
Mass of particles released by comet 12P/Pons-Brooks during 2023-2024 outbursts
Maria Gritsevich, Marcin Wesołowski, Alberto J. Castro-Tirado
During its most recent return, comet 12P/Pons-Brooks experienced 14 well-documented outbursts, observed between June 13, 2023, and April 2024, at heliocentric distances ranging fro…
