A Shell Collision Scenario for EP251222b/GRB 251222A: Connecting Prompt Emission and Double-Peaked Afterglow
Run Shi, Di Xiao, Brajesh Kumar +23
GRB 251222A is a long-duration gamma-ray burst at a spectroscopic redshift of . It was detected by the EP as the soft X-ray transient EP251222b before and during the gamma…
Rapid Variability and Broadband Spectral Modeling in the Flaring Activity of BL Lacertae
Xin Chang, Dingrong Xiong, Chenxu Liu +17
We report a multi-wavelength study of two flaring episodes of the blazar BL Lacertae during MJD 60500-60800 (9 July 2024 - 5 May 2025). The source reached a daily-averaged -ray…
Early Near-Infrared Excess and Rapid Disk-Corona Evolution in the Tidal Disruption Event 2024aepd
Yongxin Wu, Yanan Wang, Thomas M. Reynolds +38
We present multi-wavelength observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) 2024aepd, spanning primarily the first 300 days after discovery. A prominent near-infrared (NIR)…
X-rays breaking out of pre-explosion ejecta mark a supernova's first light
Weimin Yuan, Qiu-Ju Huang, Jin-Ping Zhu +130
Massive stars die as core-collapse supernovae, whose optical light emerges days after the implosion. Theory predicts that the initial collapse-driven shock, upon breaking through t…
Distinct Fe-K Line Complexes in MAXI J1744-294 Revealed by XRISM High-Resolution Spectroscopy
Kaushik Chatterjee, Santanu Mondal, Biswaraj Palit +7
The newly discovered Galactic transient MAXI J1744-294 went into its first X-ray outburst in 2025. We study the spectral properties of this source in the 2-10 keV energy band durin…
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…
SN 2024aecx: A double-peaked rapidly evolving Type IIb supernova at 11 Mpc
Xingzhu Zou, Brajesh Kumar, Rishabh Singh Teja +28
We present the results of low-resolution spectroscopic and densely sampled multi-band photometric follow-up of supernova (SN) 2024aecx. The SN was discovered in the spiral galaxy N…
Multiwavelength Analysis of GRB 250101A: From Gamma-ray Prompt Emission to Optical Afterglow
Guowang Du, Yehao Cheng, Yuan-Pei Yang +15
The interaction between the relativistic jet and the circumburst medium produces a multiwavelength afterglow of a gamma-ray burst (GRBs). In this work, we present multiwavelength p…
Simultaneous Multiband Photometry of the Early Optical Afterglow of GRB 240825A with Mephisto
Yehao Cheng, Yu Pan, Yuan-Pei Yang +19
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous transients in the universe. The interaction of the relativistic jet with the circumburst medium produces an afterglow and generates mu…
Black hole mass and optical radiation mechanism of the tidal disruption event AT 2023clx
Shiyan Zhong, Xian Xu, Xinlei Chen +5
We present the optical light curves of the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT 2023clx in the declining phase, observed with Mephisto. Combining our light curve with the ASAS-SN and AT…
Multiband Simultaneous Photometry of Type II SN 2023ixf with Mephisto and the Twin 50-cm Telescopes
Yuan-Pei Yang, Xiangkun Liu, Yu Pan +13
SN 2023ixf, recently reported in the nearby galaxy M101 at a distance of , was one of the closest and brightest core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) in the last decade.…
Early-phase simultaneous multiband observations of the Type II supernova SN 2024ggi with Mephisto
Xinlei Chen, Brajesh Kumar, Xinzhong Er +24
We present early-phase good-cadence (hour-to-day) simultaneous multiband ( and bands) imaging of the nearby supernova SN~2024ggi, which exploded in the nearby galaxy, NG…
A 12.4 day periodicity in a close binary system after a supernova
Ping Chen, Avishay Gal-Yam, Jesper Sollerman +37
Neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes are the remnants of massive star explosions. Most massive stars reside in close binary systems, and the interplay between the companion s…
