We report the discovery of a new X-ray transient, EP J175257.3-351923 (EP250916a), by the Einstein Probe (EP) near the Galactic plane. The outburst lasted for at least 250\,days, r…

F. Coti Zelati, A. Marino, Y. L. Wang +27
We report the discovery and multi-wavelength characterization of the Galactic transient EP J174942.2384834, first detected by the Einstein Probe during a faint X-ray outburst in…
XRF 241001A/SN 2024aiiq: A faint soft X-ray transient detected by SVOM with a broad-line type Ic supernova revealed by JWST
B. Schneider, M. Brunet, B. P. Gompertz +61
X-ray flashes (XRFs) are a type of gamma-ray burst (GRB) with prompt emission predominantly below 30 keV and have been poorly detected by previous missions. The advent of the SVOM…
An energetic dirty fireball detected in soft X-rays
C. -Y. Dai, J. Quirola-Vásquez, Y. -H. Wang +76
The collapse of massive stars drives explosions that power relativistic fireballs. If only a small amount of matter is entrained, such clean fireballs can expand with Lorentz facto…
Aql X-1 from dawn 'til dusk: the early rise, fast state transition and decay of its 2024 outburst
A. Marino, F. Coti Zelati, K. Alabarta +36
Transient Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) are usually first detected by all-sky X-ray monitors when they enter new outbursts, typically at X-ray luminosities above 10…
BASSET: Bandpass-Adaptive Single-pulse SEarch Toolkit -- Optimized Sub-Band Pulse Search Strategies for Faint Narrow-Band FRBs
J. -H. Cao, P. Wang, D. Li +29
The existing single-pulse search algorithms for fast radio bursts (FRBs) do not adequately consider the frequency bandpass pattern of the pulse, rendering them incomplete for the r…
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-…
Revisiting the energy distribution and formation rate of CHIME fast radio bursts
K. J. Zhang, Z. B. Zhang, A. E. Rodin +9
Based on the first CHIME/FRB catalogue, three volume-limited samples of fast radio bursts (FRBs) are built, with samples 1, 2, and 3 corresponding to a fluence cut of 5, 3, and 1,…
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…
The origin of low-redshift event rate excess as revealed by the low-luminosity GRBs
X. F. Dong, Z. B. Zhang, Q. M. Li +2
The relation between the event rate of long Gamma-Ray Bursts at low redshift and the star formation rate is still controversial, especially in the low-redshift end. Dong et al. con…
Bimodal distribution of short gamma-ray bursts: evidence for two distinct types of short gamma-ray bursts
Y. B. Yu, L. B. Li, B. Li +2
Recently, GRB 170817A was confirmed to be associated with GW 170817, which was produced by a neutron star - neutron star merger. It indicates that at least some short gamma-ray bur…
The Redshift Dependence of the Radio Flux of Gamma-Ray Bursts and Their Host Galaxies
Z. B. Zhang, P. Chandra, Y. F. Huang +1
Using multiwavelength observations of radio afterglows, we confirm the hypothesis that the flux density of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at a fixed observing frequency is invariable when…
The Deep and Transient Universe in the SVOM Era: New Challenges and Opportunities - Scientific prospects of the SVOM mission
J. Wei, B. Cordier, S. Antier +77
To take advantage of the astrophysical potential of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), Chinese and French astrophysicists have engaged the SVOM mission (Space-based multi-band astronomical V…
Coalescence of Strange-Quark Planets with Strange Stars: a New Kind of Sources for Gravitational Wave Bursts
J. J. Geng, Y. F. Huang, T. Lu
Strange quark matter (SQM) may be the true ground state of hadronic matter, indicating that the observed pulsars may actually be strange stars, but not neutron stars. According to…
Revisiting the Emission from Relativistic Blast Waves in a Density-Jump Medium
J. J. Geng, X. F. Wu, Liang Li +2
Re-brightening bumps are frequently observed in gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows. Many scenarios have been proposed to interpret the origin of these bumps, of which a blast wave en…
The origin of the plateau and late rebrightening in the afterglow of GRB 120326A
S. J. Hou, J. J. Geng, K. Wang +4
GRB 120326A is an unusual gamma-ray burst (GRB) which has a quite long plateau and a very late rebrightening both in X-ray and optical bands. The similar behavior of the optical an…
Fall back accretion and energy injections in gamma-ray bursts
Y. B. Yu, X. F. Wu, Y. F. Huang +4
Intense flares that occur at late times relative to the prompt phase have been observed by the satellite in the X-ray afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Here, we presen…
Delayed Energy Injection Model For Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows
J. J. Geng, X. F. Wu, Y. F. Huang +1
The shallow decay phase and flares in the afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is widely believed to be associated with the later activation of central engine. Some models of ener…
On the Correlation of Low-energy Spectral Indices and Redshifts of Gamma-ray Bursts
J. J. Geng, Y. F. Huang
It was found by Amati et al. in 2002 that for a small sample of 9 gamma-ray bursts, more distant events appear to be systematically harder in the soft gamma-ray band. Here, we have…
Constraining dark energy using observational growth rate data
K. Shi, Y. F. Huang, T. Lu

Failed Gamma-Ray Bursts: Thermal UV/Soft X-ray Emission Accompanied by Peculiar Afterglows
M. Xu, S. Nagataki, Y. -F. Huang +1
We show that the photospheres of "failed" Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), whose bulk Lorentz factors are much lower than 100, can be outside of internal shocks. The resulting radiation fr…
