The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
AT2025ulz and S250818k: Deep X-ray and radio limits on off-axis afterglow emission and prospects for future discovery
Brendan O'Connor, Roberto Ricci, Eleonora Troja +15
The first joint electromagentic (EM) and gravitational wave (GW) detection, known as GW170817, marked a critical juncture in our collective understanding of compact object mergers.…
AT2025ulz and S250818k: zooming in with the Hubble Space Telescope
Yu-Han Yang, Eleonora Troja, Marko Ristić +19
AT2025ulz is an optical/near-infrared transient discovered during follow-up of the candidate gravitational wave (GW) event S250818k. Its young age (1 d), rapid decline an…
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…
Radio observations point to a moderately relativistic outflow in the fast X-ray transient EP241021a
Muskan Yadav, Eleonora Troja, Roberto Ricci +7
Fast X-ray transients (FXRTs) are short-lived X-ray outbursts with diverse progenitor scenarios, including compact object mergers, stellar core-collapses and tidal disruption event…
The curious case of EP241021a: Unraveling the mystery of its exceptional rebrightening
Malte Busmann, Brendan O'Connor, Julian Sommer +19
Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) are a rare and poorly understood phenomenon with a variety of possible progenitors. The launch of the Einstein Probe (EP) mission has facilitated a rap…
