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 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…

Multiwavelength Observations of the Apparently Non-repeating FRB 20250316A

Ye Li, Hui Sun, Lei Qian +72

The physical origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs) remains uncertain. Although multiwavelength observations have been widely conducted, only Galactic FRB~20200428D is associated with…

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…

Estimate of the Background and Sensitivity of theFollow-up X-ray Telescope onboard Einstein Probe

Juan Zhang, Liqiang Qi, Yanji Yang +15

As a space X-ray imaging mission dedicated to time-domain astrophysics, the Einstein Probe (EP) carries two kinds of scientific payloads, the wide-field X-ray telescope (WXT) and t…
