The (missing) gamma-ray counterparts to EP events
Maria Edvige Ravasio, Ansh Chopra, Peter G. Jonker +23
While the connection of Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) detected by Einstein Probe (EP) with Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) is increasingly compelling, most lack gamma-ray counterparts, leav…
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…
AT 2024wpp: the most luminous fast-evolving optical transient linked to the merger explosion of a black-hole binary
Jialian Liu, Bao Wang, Xiaofeng Wang +48
Fast blue optical transients (FBOTs) represent one of the most exotic astrophysical transients, exhibiting unusually strong emission across X-ray, optical, and radio wavelengths. T…
EP250827b/SN 2025wkm: An X-ray Flash-Supernova Powered by a Central Engine and Circumstellar Interaction
Gokul P. Srinivasaragavan, Dongyue Li, Xander J. Hall +100
We present the discovery of EP250827b/SN 2025wkm, an X-ray Flash (XRF) discovered by the Einstein Probe (EP), accompanied by a broad-line Type Ic supernova (SN Ic-BL) at $z = 0.119…
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…
{\tt RapidGBM}: An Efficient Tool for Fermi-GBM Visibility Checking and Data Analysis with a Case Study of EP240617a
Yun Wang, Jia Ren, Lu-Yao Jiang +15
We have developed a lightweight tool, {\tt RapidGBM}, featuring a web-based interface and capabilities of rapid calculation of Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) visibilities and…
Spectral Hardening Reveals Afterglow Emergence in Long-Duration Fast X-ray Transients: A Case Study of GRB 250404A/EP250404a
Yi-Han Iris Yin, Yuan Fang, Bin-Bin Zhang +56
The prompt emission and afterglow phases of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been extensively studied, yet the transition between these two phases remains inadequately characterized du…
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…
EP240801a/XRF 240801B: An X-ray Flash Detected by the Einstein Probe and Implications of its Multiband Afterglow
Shuai-Qing Jiang, Dong Xu, Agnes P. C. van Hoof +89
We present multiband observations and analysis of EP240801a, a low-energy, extremely soft gamma-ray burst (GRB) discovered on August 1, 2024 by the Einstein Probe (EP) satellite, w…
Einstein Probe discovery of EP240408a: a peculiar X-ray transient with an intermediate timescale
Wenda Zhang, Weimin Yuan, Zhixing Ling +136
We report the discovery of a peculiar X-ray transient, EP240408a, by Einstein Probe (EP) and follow-up studies made with EP, Swift, NICER, GROND, ATCA and other ground-based multi-…
