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…
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…
Ellipsoidal modulation and multi-wavelength activity in the pre-cataclysmic binary RX J1553.0+4457
S. -Y. Wu, M. Gritsevich, Q. -H. Lao +39
RX J1553.0+4457 (TMTS J15530469+4457458) is a detached post-common-envelope binary containing a cool white dwarf and an active late-type companion. We present a multi-wavelength st…
Stochastic Optical Variability and an rms-flux Relation in the Intermediate Polar EP240309a
S. -Y. Wu, Y. -D. Hu, I. Perez-Garcia +18
Magnetic cataclysmic variables provide a natural laboratory for studying how accretion interacts with compact-object magnetospheres and generates stochastic variability. We present…
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 progenitors of some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), primarily understood by gamma-ray observations, while poorly constrained in the…
Extremely luminous optical afterglow of an energetic gamma-ray burst GRB 230204B
Rahul Gupta, Judith Racusin, Vladimir Lipunov +47
Robotic telescope networks play an important role in capturing early and bright optical afterglows, providing critical insights into the energetics and emission mechanisms of GRBs.…
