Multi-wavelength Constraints on the Transient EP250905a
J. Quirola-Vasquez, P. G. Jonker, A. Levan +30
Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are a diverse class of high-energy suggested origins, ranging from stellar explosions to compact object mergers. The Einstein Probe (EP) satellite disc…
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…
EP251023a: A fast X-ray transient featuring a magnetar-powered optical internal plateau followed by a steep decay
Shuai-Qing Jiang, Dong Xu, Wei-Hua Lei +33
EP251023a is an extragalactic fast X-ray transient (eFXT) detected solely by EP without a gamma-ray counterpart. The prompt emission consists of a main emission with a duration $T_…
A fast X-ray transient from a weak relativistic jet associated with a type Ic-BL supernova
H. Sun, W. -X. Li, L. -D. Liu +163
Massive stars end their lives as core-collapse supernovae, amongst which some extremes are broad-lined type Ic supernovae from Wolf-Rayet stars associated with long-duration gamma-…
Soft X-ray prompt emission from a high-redshift gamma-ray burst EP240315a
Y. Liu, H. Sun, D. Xu +191
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are believed to originate from core collapse of massive stars. High-redshift GRBs can probe the star formation and reionization history of the early un…
The bright black hole X-ray binary 4U 1543--47 during 2021 outburst: a thick accretion disk inflated by high luminosity
S. J. Zhao, L. Tao, P. P. Li +17
The black hole X-ray binary source 4U 1543--47 experienced a super-Eddington outburst in 2021, reaching a peak flux of up to …
Magnetar emergence in a peculiar gamma-ray burst from a compact star merger
H. Sun, C. -W. Wang, J. Yang +42
The central engine that powers gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the most powerful explosions in the universe, is still not identified. Besides hyper-accreting black holes, rapidly spinning…
First wide field-of-view X-ray observations by a lobster eye focusing telescope in orbit
C. Zhang, Z. X. Ling, X. J. Sun +75
As a novel X-ray focusing technology, lobster eye micro-pore optics (MPO) feature both a wide observing field of view and true imaging capability, promising sky monitoring with sig…
