SN 2025fhm: A central-engine powered Ic-BL supernova associated with X-ray transient EP250304a
Cui-Ying Song, Nan Jiang, Xiaofeng Wang +32
We present X-ray, optical, and radio follow-up observations of EP250304a, an extragalactic fast X-ray transient (EFXT) discovered by the Einstein Probe. Its X-ray light curve exhib…
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…
Multiwavelength Analysis of the Einstein Probe X-ray Transient EP240305a
Ruican Ma, Ye Li, Lian Tao +32
We report multiwavelength observations of EP240305a, an uncatalogued X-ray transient detected by the Einstein Probe on March 5, 2024. The source exhibits distinct characteristics a…
Deep VLBI constraints on compact radio cores in four ultraluminous X-ray sources
Ailing Wang, Hua Feng, Tao An +7
We present high-sensitivity Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of four ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs): Holmberg II X-1, IC 342 X-1, NGC 6946 X-1, and NGC 925…
EP250302a: violent shell collision in a soft-X-ray-selected GRB-like transient
Shao-Yu Fu, Cui-Yuan Dai, Ai-Ling Wang +57
The Einstein Probe opens a previously unexplored soft X-ray window onto gamma-ray bursts, filling a critical observational gap in the soft X-ray coverage of their prompt emission.…
A Delayed Radio Flare Traces Kinetic Energy Injection in the SMBHB Candidate SDSS~J143016.05+230344.4
Tao An, Ailing Wang, Yingkang Zhang +12
SDSS~J143016.05+230344.4 () has been proposed as a candidate pre-coalescence supermassive black hole binary and shows remarkable multiwavelength variability. Its radio e…
AT 2024wpp: the most luminous fast-evolving optical transient linked to the merger explosion of a black-hole binary
Jialian Liu, Bao Wang, Xiaofeng Wang +48
Fast blue optical transients (FBOTs) represent one of the most exotic astrophysical transients, exhibiting unusually strong emission across X-ray, optical, and radio wavelengths. T…
A pilot VLBI study of the SQUAB quasar sample featuring multiple Gaia detections
Yingkang Zhang, Tao An, Xiang Ji +5
Our previous work identified a class of SDSS quasars exhibiting multiple Gaia detections, classifying them as candidates for various astrophysical systems such as quasar-star pairs…
A Deep VLA Search for a Persistent Radio Counterpart to the One-off FRB 20250316A
Tao An, Ailing Wang, Yu-Chen Huang +4
Fast Radio Burst (FRB) 20250316A, detected by CHIME on 2025 March 16 with a fluence of and a dispersion measure of , r…
