A Roadmap for Transient Hunters: Mapping Stellar Mass and Star Formation Rate Anisotropies in the Local Universe
Ye-Hao Cheng, Yuan-Pei Yang, Ye Li
Over the past few decades, an increasing number of transients in nearby galaxies have been discovered through various survey projects. Unlike astrophysical phenomena at cosmologica…
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…
A fast powerful X-ray transient from possible tidal disruption of a white dwarf
Dongyue Li, Wenda Zhang, Jun Yang +97
Stars captured by black holes (BHs) can be torn apart by strong tidal forces, producing electromagnetic flares. To date, more than 100 tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been obse…
The soft X-ray transient EP241021a: A cosmic explosion with a complex off-axis jet and cocoon from a massive progenitor
Giulia Gianfagna, Luigi Piro, Gabriele Bruni +22
X-ray flashes (XRFs) are fast X-ray transients thought to be softer analogs of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). With its soft X-ray sensitivity, the Einstein Probe (EP) provides a unique o…
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…
Multiwavelength Analysis of GRB 250101A: From Gamma-ray Prompt Emission to Optical Afterglow
Guowang Du, Yehao Cheng, Yuan-Pei Yang +15
The interaction between the relativistic jet and the circumburst medium produces a multiwavelength afterglow of a gamma-ray burst (GRBs). In this work, we present multiwavelength p…
