EP250302a: violent shell collision in a soft-X-ray-selected GRB-like transient

Shao-Yu Fu, Cui-Yuan Dai, Ai-Ling Wang +57

The Einstein Probe opens a previously unexplored soft X-ray window onto gamma-ray bursts, filling a critical observational gap in the soft X-ray coverage of their prompt emission.…

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…

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…

EP240801a/XRF 240801B: An X-ray Flash Detected by the Einstein Probe and Implications of its Multiband Afterglow

Shuai-Qing Jiang, Dong Xu, Agnes P. C. van Hoof +89

We present multiband observations and analysis of EP240801a, a low-energy, extremely soft gamma-ray burst (GRB) discovered on August 1, 2024 by the Einstein Probe (EP) satellite, w…

The Mini-SiTian Array: Prospects of Searching for Tidal Disruption Events

Bei-chuan Wang, Jun-jie Jin, Yu Zhang +14

We assess the detectability of tidal disruption events (TDEs) using mock observations from the Mini-SiTian array. We select 100 host galaxy samples from a simulated galaxy catalog…
