In-flight Timing Calibration of the Follow-up X-Ray Telescope on Board the Einstein Probe
Juan Zhang, Xiaofan Zhao, Dawei Han +18
After the launch of Einstein Probe (EP), pulsars are observed to calibrate the timing system of the onboard Follow-up X-ray Telescope (FXT) by measuring the times of arrival (TOAs)…
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…
A simple, flexible method for timing cross-calibration of space missions
Matteo Bachetti, Yukikatsu Terada, Megumi Shidatsu +25
The timing (cross-)calibration of astronomical instruments is often done by comparing pulsar times-of-arrival (TOAs) to a reference timing model. In high-energy astronomy, the choi…
In-flight Characteristics and Modelling of the Instrumental Background of EP/FXT
Juan Zhang, Yong Chen, Shumei Jia +15
The in-flight instrumental background of the Follow-up X-ray Telescope (FXT) onboard Einstein Probe (EP) mission is analysed in this work by utilizing observations collected during…
The enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission -- eXTP for launch in 2030
Shuang-Nan Zhang, Andrea Santangelo, Yupeng Xu +155
In this paper we present the current status of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission, which has been fully approved for launch in 2030. eXTP is a space science mission…
EP241021a: a months-duration X-ray transient with luminous optical and radio emission
Shu Xinwen, Yang Lei, Yang Haonan +82
We present the discovery of a peculiar X-ray transient, EP241021a, by the Einstein Probe (EP) mission, and the results from multiwavelength follow-up observations. The transient wa…
