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…

A superflare of BP Tau simultaneously caught by EP X-ray and TESS optical observations

Xingyu Zhou, Mingjun Liu, Gregory J. Herczeg +10

Multiwavelength observations of stellar flares trace the activity of different components of the stars' outer atmosphere, providing insight into their interactions. In the present…

An extremely bright slow-rising afterglow from an off-axis jet in GRB 260310A

Yu-Han Yang, Roberto Ricci, Eleonora Troja +31

We present a multi-wavelength study of GRB 260310A, a nearby long-duration gamma-ray burst at associated with a broad-lined Type Ic supernova. Despite its modest pro…

Detection of a Millisecond Periodicity in BATSE Short Gamma-Ray Bursts

Run-Chao Chen, Jun Yang, Yi-Han Iris Yin +1

Coherent oscillations at kilohertz frequencies have recently been detected in a small number of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), suggesting quasi-periodic dynamics in their central engines…

Minutes-long soft X-ray prompt emission from a compact object merger

An Li, Chen-Wei Wang, Niccolò Passaleva +75

Compact object mergers are multi-messenger sources and known progenitors of some gamma-ray bursts, bright flashes of high-energy radiation powered by a central engine, either an ac…

Evidence for a brief appearance of gamma-ray periodicity after a compact star merger

Run-Chao Chen, Bin-Bin Zhang, Chen-Wei Wang +6

The product of a compact star merger is usually hypothesized to be a hyperaccreting black hole, typically resulting in a gamma-ray burst (GRB) with a duration shorter than 2~s. How…

A fast powerful X-ray transient from possible tidal disruption of a white dwarf

Dongyue Li, Wenda Zhang, Jun Yang +97

Stars captured by black holes (BHs) can be torn apart by strong tidal forces, producing electromagnetic flares. To date, more than 100 tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been obse…

A Comptonized Fireball Bubble Fits the Second Extragalactic Magnetar Giant Flare GRB 231115A

Yi-Han Iris Yin, Zhao Joseph Zhang, Jun Yang +4

Magnetar giant flares (MGFs), originating from noncatastrophic magnetars, share noteworthy similarities with some short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). However, understanding their detail…

Prospects for detecting neutron star-white dwarf mergers with decihertz gravitational-wave observatories

Yacheng Kang, Chang Liu, Jin-Ping Zhu +6

Based on different neutron star-white dwarf (NS-WD) population models, we investigate the prospects of gravitational-wave (GW) detections for NS-WD mergers, with the help of early…
