JWST reveals a supernova following a gamma-ray burst at z 7.3

A. J. Levan, B. Schneider, E. Le Floc'h +50

The majority of energetic long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are thought to arise from the collapse of massive stars, making them powerful tracers of star formation across cosmi…

SVOM GRB 250314A at z 7.3: an exploding star in the era of reionization

B. Cordier, J. Y. Wei, N. R. Tanvir +103

Most long Gamma-ray bursts originate from a rare type of massive stellar explosion. Their afterglows, while rapidly fading, can be initially extremely luminous at optical/near-infr…

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…

The kangaroo's first hop: the early fast cooling phase of EP250108a/SN 2025kg

Rob A. J. Eyles-Ferris, Peter G. Jonker, Andrew J. Levan +52

Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are a rare and poorly understood population of events. Previously difficult to detect in real time, the launch of the Einstein Probe with its wide fiel…

Science objectives of the Einstein Probe mission

Weimin Yuan, Lixin Dai, Hua Feng +93

The Einstein Probe (EP) is an interdisciplinary mission of time-domain and X-ray astronomy. Equipped with a wide-field lobster-eye X-ray focusing imager, EP will discover cosmic X-…

Rubin ToO 2024: Envisioning the Vera C. Rubin Observatory LSST Target of Opportunity program

Igor Andreoni, Raffaella Margutti, John Banovetz +86

The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) at Vera C. Rubin Observatory is planned to begin in the Fall of 2025. The LSST survey cadence has been designed via a community-driven pr…
