Gas absorption of soft X-rays strongly impacts the redshift distribution of dark Fast X-ray Transients
Javier Sánchez-Sierras, Peter G. Jonker, Jonathan Quirola-Vásquez +25
The progenitors of many Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) and those of -ray bursts (GRBs) are strongly linked. Given that "dark" GRBs are typically found to be events suffering from…
X-rays breaking out of pre-explosion ejecta mark a supernova's first light
Weimin Yuan, Qiu-Ju Huang, Jin-Ping Zhu +130
Massive stars die as core-collapse supernovae, whose optical light emerges days after the implosion. Theory predicts that the initial collapse-driven shock, upon breaking through t…
GRB 260310A / SN 2026fgk: A Multi-Wavelength Study of a Nearby Underluminous Long GRB and SN with a Complex Afterglow
Ramandeep Gill, Rosa L. Becerra, Antonio de Ugarte Postigo +54
We present a comprehensive multi-wavelength study of GRB 260310A / SN 2026fgk, a nearby (), long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) with an exceptionally underluminous prompt…
CURLING -- III. Identifying Candidates of Wide-separation Gravitationally Lensed Quasars from the CatNorth Catalogue
Di Wu, Zizhao He, Nan Li +5
Wide-separation lensed quasars (WSLQs) are a rare subclass of strongly lensed quasars produced by massive galaxy clusters. They provide valuable probes of dark-matter halos and qua…
GRB 240825A: Early Reverse Shock and Its Physical Implications
Chao Wu, Yun Wang, Hua-Li Li +84
Early multiwavelength observations offer crucial insights into the nature of the relativistic jets responsible for gamma-ray bursts and their interaction with the surrounding mediu…
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…
EP240801a/XRF 240801B: An X-ray Flash Detected by the Einstein Probe and Implications of its Multiband Afterglow
Shuai-Qing Jiang, Dong Xu, Agnes P. C. van Hoof +89
We present multiband observations and analysis of EP240801a, a low-energy, extremely soft gamma-ray burst (GRB) discovered on August 1, 2024 by the Einstein Probe (EP) satellite, w…
GRB 241030A: a prompt thermal X-ray emission component and diverse origin of the very early UVOT WHITE and U band emission
Qiu-Li Wang, Hao Zhou, Yun Wang +17
We present a detailed analysis of the long-duration GRB 241030A detected by {\it Swift}. Thanks to the rapid response of XRT and UVOT, the strongest part of the prompt emission of…
Detection of an Orphan X-ray Flare from a Blazar Candidate EP240709a with Einstein Probe
Mingjun Liu, Yijia Zhang, Yun Wang +49
Blazars are often observed to flare across multiple wavelengths. Orphan flares from blazars have been only detected a few times, providing an opportunity to understand the structur…
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-…
GRB 211024B: an ultra-long GRB powered by magnetar
Shao-Yu Fu, Dong Xu, Wei-Hua Lei +15
Ultra-long gamma-ray bursts (ULGRBs) are characterized by exceptionally long-duration central engine activities, with characteristic timescales exceeding 1000 seconds. We present g…
Unveiling the Multifaceted GRB 200613A: Prompt Emission Dynamics, Afterglow Evolution, and the Host Galaxy's Properties
Shao-Yu Fu, Dong Xu, Wei-Hua Lei +17
We present our optical observations and multi-wavelength analysis of the GRB\,200613A detected by \texttt{Fermi} satellite. Time-resolved spectral analysis of the prompt -ray em…
Triggering the Untriggered: The First Einstein Probe-Detected Gamma-Ray Burst 240219A and Its Implications
Yi-Han Iris Yin, Bin-Bin Zhang, Jun Yang +49
The Einstein Probe (EP) achieved its first detection and localization of a bright X-ray flare, EP240219a, on 2024 February 19, during its commissioning phase. Subsequent targeted s…
Optical and Near-infrared Observations of the Distant but Bright 'New Year's Burst' GRB 220101A
Zi-Pei Zhu, Wei-Hua Lei, Daniele B. Malesani +26
High-redshift gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) provide a powerful tool to probe the early universe, but still for relatively few do we have good observations of the afterglow. We here repor…
