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…
Exploring the capabilities of combined modelling strategies for supernova with relativistic jets using Redback
L. Cotter, N. Sarin, A. Martin-Carrillo
Events in which a supernova (SN) is associated with a relativistic jet present multi-component light curves. In the past, the analysis of such complex light curves was carried out…
A JWST redshift for the host galaxy of EP250207b of z=3.2: a collapsar origin is viable
Agnes P. C. van Hoof, Peter G. Jonker, Andrew J. Levan +24
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the field of the fast X-ray transient (FXT) detected by Einstein Probe, EP250207b, to…
Multi-wavelength Constraints on the Transient EP250905a
J. Quirola-Vasquez, P. G. Jonker, A. Levan +30
Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are a diverse class of high-energy suggested origins, ranging from stellar explosions to compact object mergers. The Einstein Probe (EP) satellite disc…
Failed jet breakout in the metal-poor broad-lined type Ic supernova 2026gzf
Antonio Martin-Carrillo, Christina C. Thöne, James K. Leung +103
A long-standing question in the death of massive stars is the role of relativistic jets. While many gamma-ray bursts and some fast X-ray transients seem to be associated with broad…

K. -R. Hinds, A. Y. Q. Ho, Y. Wagh +103
The origins of sub-luminous (\,erg\,s) gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) associated with broad-lined Type~Ic supernovae (Ic-BL SNe) are poorly u…
Probing a new subclass of llGRB-SN transients: Insights from EP250304a and its associated supernova
L. Cotter, A. Martin-Carrillo, R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris +62
With the advent of the Einstein Probe (EP) mission, we are entering a new era in the study of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), enabling the detection of faint, low-luminosity transients th…
JWST and HST observations of the host galaxy and supernova, SN 2024aihh in EP240801a at z=1.67
Agnes P. C. van Hoof, Andrew J. Levan, Peter G. Jonker +15
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the counterpart of EP240801a, at z=1.67, the first fast X-ray transient (FXT) identifi…
Machine learning for the early classification of broad-lined Ic supernovae
Laura Cotter, Antonio Martin-Carrillo, Joseph Fisher +3
Science is currently at an age where there is more data than we know how to deal with. Machine learning (ML) is an emerging tool that is useful for drawing valuable science out of…
Unveiling the nature of the Einstein Probe transient EP 241021a
J. Quirola-Vásquez, P. G. Jonker, A. J. Levan +23
We present a multi-wavelength analysis of the fast X-ray transient EP 241021a, discovered by the Wide-field X-ray Telescope aboard the \emph{Einstein Probe} satellite on 2024 Octob…
JWST Spectroscopy of GRB 250702B: An Extremely Rare and Exceptionally Energetic Burst in a Dusty, Massive Galaxy at
Benjamin P. Gompertz, Andrew J. Levan, Tanmoy Laskar +25
We present follow-up observations of the day-long, repeating GRB 250702B with the Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Through the i…
Discovery and Analysis of Afterglows from Poorly Localised GRBs with the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) All-sky Survey
Amit Kumar, B. P. Gompertz, B. Schneider +86
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), particularly those detected by wide-field instruments such as the Fermi/GBM, pose a challenge for optical follow-up due to their large initial localisation…
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…
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…
