A possible high-redshift origin for the short GRB 061201: implications of a compact binary merger beyond cosmic noon
E. Troja, B. O'Connor, Y. -H. Yang +4
Short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at redshift z>2 remain exceptionally rare, yet they are crucial for tracing compact binary mergers in the early Universe and understanding their role…

The redshift distribution of Einstein Probe transients supports their relation to gamma-ray bursts
Brendan O'Connor, Paz Beniamini, Eleonora Troja +9
The launch of the \textit{Einstein Probe} unleashed a new era of high-energy transient discovery in the largely unexplored soft X-ray band. The \textit{Einstein Probe} has detected…

Exploring the connection between compact object mergers and fast X-ray transients: The cases of LXT 240402A and EP250207b
R. L. Becerra, Yu-Han Yang, Eleonora Troja +29
The connection between compact object mergers and some extragalactic fast X-ray transients (FXRTs) has long been hypothesized, but never ultimately established. In this work, we in…
