Revealing the high redshift host galaxy of the short GRB 061201 with JWST
Yuhan Mao, Hanrui He, Jia Ren +6
Using deep near-infrared and optical images from JWST and HST, we identify a new host galaxy candidate for GRB 061201. It lies ~2" from the optical afterglow position. Photometric…
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…
The Formation Rate and Luminosity Function of Fast X-ray transients from Einstein probe
Yizhou Guo, Houdun Zeng, Junjie Wei +4
Following its launch on 2024 January 9, the Einstein Probe (EP) telescope has detected hundreds of fast X-ray transients (FXTs), yet their physical origins remain elusive. Understa…
EP241217a: a likely Type II GRB with an achromatic bump at z = 4.59
Hao Zhou, Jia Ren, Chen-Wei Wang +22
EP241217a is an X-ray transient detected by the Einstein Probe (EP) lasting for about 100 seconds and without accompanying -ray detection. The optical spectroscopy reveals the…
