Homogenization of the Stetson Photometry with the BEST Database

Zhirui Li, Bowen Huang, Kai Xiao +5

As one of the most widely recognized high-quality standard stars, the Stetson standards have been extensively used as a photometric reference for calibrating other surveys. In this…

An Intermediate-mass Black Hole Lurking in A Galactic Halo Caught Alive during Outburst

C. -C. Jin, D. -Y. Li, N. Jiang +137

Stellar-mass and supermassive black holes abound in the Universe, whereas intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) of ~10^2-10^5 solar masses in between are largely missing observatio…

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-…

A potential mass-gap black hole in a wide binary with a circular orbit

Wang Song, Zhao Xinlin, Feng Fabo +28

Mass distribution of black holes identified through X-ray emission suggests a paucity of black holes in the mass range of 3 to 5 solar masses. Modified theories have been devised t…

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…
