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…
Illuminating the Mass Gap Through Deep Optical Constraint on a Neutron Star Merger Candidate S250206dm
Zhengyan Liu, Zelin Xu, Ji-an Jiang +35
The gravitational wave (GW) event S250206dm, as the first well-localized neutron star merger candidate potentially located in the mass gap, presented a unique opportunity to probe…
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…
Searching for Electromagnetic Counterpart Candidates to GW231123
Lei He, Liang-Gui Zhu, Zheng-Yan Liu +14
The detection of GW231123, a gravitational-wave (GW) event with exceptionally massive and rapidly spinning black holes, suggests the possible formation within an active galactic nu…
Tracing the light: Identification for the optical counterpart candidates of binary black-holes during O3
Lei He, Zhengyan Liu, Rui Niu +9
The accretion disks of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are widely considered the ideal environments for binary black hole (BBH) mergers and the only plausible sites for their electrom…
A Systematic Search for Active Galactic Nucleus Flares in ZTF Data Release 23
Lei He, Zheng-Yan Liu, Rui Niu +13
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are known to exhibit stochastic variability across a wide range of timescales and wavelengths. AGN flares are extreme outbursts that deviate from this…
Kilonova-Targeting Lightcurve Classification for Wide Field Survey Telescope
Runduo Liang, Zhengyan Liu, Lei Lei +1
With the enhancement of sensitivity of Gravitational Wave (GW) detectors and capabilities of large survey facilities, such as Vera Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time…
Constraints Based on Non-detection of Kilonova Optical Searching
Runduo Liang, Zhengyan Liu, Lei Lei +1
Mergers of binary neutron stars are multimessenger sources of gravitational waves that have an optical luminous counterpart, commonly referred to as 'kilonova'. Inspired by the det…
Sciences with the 2.5-meter Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST)
WFST Collaboration, Tinggui Wang, Guilin Liu +60
The Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST) is a dedicated photometric surveying facility being built jointly by the University of Science and Technology of China and the Purple Mountai…
