EP250207b is not a collapsar fast X-ray transient. Is it due to a compact object merger?

P. G. Jonker, A. J. Levan, Xing Liu +41

Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) are short-lived extra-galactic X-ray sources. Recent progress through multi-wavelength follow-up of Einstein Probe discovered FXTs has shown that sever…

The day-long, repeating GRB 250702BDE / EP250702a: A unique extragalactic transient

Andrew J. Levan, Antonio Martin-Carrillo, Tanmoy Laskar +42

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are singular outbursts of high-energy radiation with durations typically lasting from milliseconds to minutes and, in extreme cases, a few hours. They are a…
