EP241113a: dissipative photospheric emission from a dirty fireball
Cui-Yuan Dai, Xiang-Yu Wang, Bing Zhang
EP241113a, a soft X-ray transient detected by the Einstein Probe (EP), has an isotropic-equivalent energy () comparable to classical gamma-r…
X-rays breaking out of pre-explosion ejecta mark a supernova's first light
Weimin Yuan, Qiu-Ju Huang, Jin-Ping Zhu +130
Massive stars die as core-collapse supernovae, whose optical light emerges days after the implosion. Theory predicts that the initial collapse-driven shock, upon breaking through t…
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…
A fast X-ray transient with chromatic flares: signatures of violent collisions induced by late-time central engine reactivation
Shao-Yu Fu, Cui-Yuan Dai, Ai-Ling Wang +57
Extragalactic Fast X-ray Transients (EFXTs) represent an emerging class of high-energy phenomena characterized by X-ray outbursts lasting from tens to hundreds of seconds. However,…
Constraining the PeV gamma-ray emission zone of Cygnus X-3 with contemporaneous GeV timing and spectral observations
Xing-Fu Zhang, Ruo-Yu Liu, Dmitriy Khangulyan +2
Cygnus X-3 has recently been established as a variable ultra-high-energy(UHE) gamma-ray source with photons detected up to 3.7~PeV. The temporal correlation between its PeV activit…
A two-hump spectrum in the prompt emission of GRB 240825A
Hai-Ming Zhang, Zi-Qi Wang, Cui-Yuan Dai +4
An extra hard spectral component that extends to GeV energies, in additional to the typical sub- MeV Band component, appears in several gamma-ray burst (GRBs) detected by Fermi Lar…
