A fast powerful X-ray transient from possible tidal disruption of a white dwarf

Dongyue Li, Wenda Zhang, Jun Yang +97

Stars captured by black holes (BHs) can be torn apart by strong tidal forces, producing electromagnetic flares. To date, more than 100 tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been obse…

Hard X-ray Emission in AU Mic Flares: A Minor Contributor to Planetary Atmospheric Escape

Yifan Hu, Murray Brightman, Fabio Favata +7

Stellar flares are potent drivers of atmospheric evolution on orbiting exoplanets, primarily through extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray (XUV) irradiation. However, the contri…

Multiwavelength Observations of the Apparently Non-repeating FRB 20250316A

Ye Li, Hui Sun, Lei Qian +72

The physical origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs) remains uncertain. Although multiwavelength observations have been widely conducted, only Galactic FRB~20200428D is associated with…

Probing the Strong Gravity Region of Black Holes with eXTP

Qingcui Bu, Cosimo Bambi, Lijun Gou +42

We present the novel capabilities of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission to study the strong gravity region around stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binary sys…

Ground Calibration Result of the Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) onboard the Einstein Probe

Huaqing Cheng, Chen Zhang, Zhixing Ling +24

We report on results of the on-ground X-ray calibration of the Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) built from novel lobster-eye micro-pore optics, onboard the Einstein Probe (EP) sate…

EP241021a: a months-duration X-ray transient with luminous optical and radio emission

Shu Xinwen, Yang Lei, Yang Haonan +82

We present the discovery of a peculiar X-ray transient, EP241021a, by the Einstein Probe (EP) mission, and the results from multiwavelength follow-up observations. The transient wa…
