Triggering the Untriggered: The First Einstein Probe-Detected Gamma-Ray Burst 240219A and Its Implications
Yi-Han Iris Yin, Bin-Bin Zhang, Jun Yang +49
The Einstein Probe (EP) achieved its first detection and localization of a bright X-ray flare, EP240219a, on 2024 February 19, during its commissioning phase. Subsequent targeted s…
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 fast X-ray transient EP240315a: a z ~ 5 gamma-ray burst in a Lyman continuum leaking galaxy
Andrew J. Levan, Peter G. Jonker, Andrea Saccardi +73
The nature of the minute-to-hour long Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) localised by telescopes such as Chandra, Swift, and XMM-Newton remains mysterious, with numerous models suggested…
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…
The Einstein Probe Mission
Weimin Yuan, Chen Zhang, Yong Chen +1
The Einstein Probe (EP) is a mission designed to monitor the sky in the soft X-ray band. It will perform systematic surveys and characterisation of high-energy transients and monit…
X-ray Scattered Halo around IGR J17544-2619
Junjie Mao, Zhixing Ling, Shuang-Nan Zhang
X-ray photons coming from an X-ray point source not only arrive at the detector directly, but also can be strongly forward-scattered by the interstellar dust along the line of sigh…
Determining the Distance of Cyg X-3 with its X-ray Dust Scattering Halo
Zhixing Ling, Shuang Nan Zhang, Shichao Tang
Using a cross-correlation method, we study the X-ray halo of Cyg X-3. Two components of dust distributions are needed to explain the time lags derived by the cross-correlation meth…
