Low-hard to high-soft spectral state transitions in the faintest early-X-ray-detected optical tidal disruption event TDE 2025aarm

Pietro Baldini, Arne Rau, Andrea Merloni +11

We report the X-ray and optical spectroscopic properties of TDE 2025aarm, the second closest tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered to date. The proximity of this source, combined…

The very faint X-ray transient Swift J174610-290018 at the Galactic center

Giovanni Stel, Gabriele Ponti, Nathalie Degenaar +17

Very Faint X-ray Transients (VFXTs) are a class of X-ray binary systems that exhibit occasional outbursts with peak X-ray luminosities (L_X< 1e36 erg s^-1) much lower than typical…

A Systematic Search for X-ray Eclipse Events in Active Galactic Nuclei Observed by Swift

Tianying Lian, Chichuan Jin, Weimin Yuan

The nuclear regions of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) likely host clumpy clouds that occasionally obscure the central X-ray source, causing eclipse events. These events offer a uniq…

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-…

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…
