Weak Radio and Bright Early Optical Emission in EP260321a: A Comparative Study with XRO 080109 Reveals the Role of Circumstellar Material Mass

Cui-Yuan Dai, Xiang-Yu Wang, Jian-He Zheng

Shock breakout (SBO) occurs when a radiation-mediated shock wave, formed during a core-collapse supernova (SN) explosion, breaks out from the stellar surface of the progenitor or f…

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…

Discovery of EP J175257.3-351923 as a Candidate Black Hole Low-Mass X-ray Binary

G. L. Huang, Q. C. Zhao, L. Tao +30

We report the discovery of a new X-ray transient, EP J175257.3-351923 (EP250916a), by the Einstein Probe (EP) near the Galactic plane. The outburst lasted for at least 250\,days, r…

Constraining the PeV gamma-ray emission zone of Cygnus X-3 with contemporaneous GeV timing and spectral observations

Xing-Fu Zhang, Ruo-Yu Liu, Dmitriy Khangulyan +2

Cygnus X-3 has recently been established as a variable ultra-high-energy(UHE) gamma-ray source with photons detected up to 3.7~PeV. The temporal correlation between its PeV activit…

On the External Inverse Compton Scattering off the Prompt Emission in GRB 221009A

Cui-Yuan Dai, Jian-He Zheng, Xiao-Hong Zhao +2

The light curve of the TeV emission in GRB 221009A displays a smooth transition from an initial rapid rise to a slower rise and eventually a decay phase. The smooth temporal profil…
