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…
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…
Multi-wavelength study of EP250416a / GRB 250416C: An Optically Dark Long GRB with a Late Jet Break
Guoying Zhao, Duo-Le Cao, Rong-Feng Shen +29
We present multi-wavelength study of the /X-ray transient EP250416a (also designated GRB 250416C), triggered by the Einstein Probe (EP) Wide-field X-ray Telescope and also by SV…
GRB 210704A: A Luminous Fast Blue Transient in a GRB Afterglow at
Daniëlle L. A. Pieterse, Andrew J. Levan, Maria E. Ravasio +27
We present detailed, multi-wavelength analysis of GRB 210704A: a Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor discovered and Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) detected gamma-ray burst (GRB). The b…
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…
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…
SVOM GRB 250314A at z 7.3: an exploding star in the era of reionization
B. Cordier, J. Y. Wei, N. R. Tanvir +103
Most long Gamma-ray bursts originate from a rare type of massive stellar explosion. Their afterglows, while rapidly fading, can be initially extremely luminous at optical/near-infr…
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…
The kangaroo's first hop: the early fast cooling phase of EP250108a/SN 2025kg
Rob A. J. Eyles-Ferris, Peter G. Jonker, Andrew J. Levan +52
Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are a rare and poorly understood population of events. Previously difficult to detect in real time, the launch of the Einstein Probe with its wide fiel…
