A JWST redshift for the host galaxy of EP250207b of z=3.2: a collapsar origin is viable
Agnes P. C. van Hoof, Peter G. Jonker, Andrew J. Levan +27
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the field of the fast X-ray transient (FXT) detected by Einstein Probe, EP250207b, to…
Ab Initio Real-Time Gravitational-Wave Parameter Estimation
David Yallup, Metha Prathaban, James Alvey +4
The paper introduces a GPU‑optimized nested sampling algorithm that can perform rapid, full‑waveform gravitational‑wave parameter estimation for binary neutron star events, achievi…
Gamma-ray burst progenitors revisited
Andrew J. Levan, Jillian C. Rastinejad, Helena-Margaret S. Grabham +11
The paper examines nearby long-duration gamma-ray bursts that lack supernova signatures, finding that many may originate from compact object mergers rather than massive stars, and…
Surrogate models for type II supernovae: Probing low-energy explosions and interaction-free regimes
Zhengyang Zhang, Shuai Zha, Nikhil Sarin +3
To address the computational bottleneck of analyzing type II supernova samples from surveys such as the Legacy Survey of Space and Time, we present two STELLA-based neural-network…
A Multi-Wavelength View of the First Type Ic-BL Supernova with an Einstein Probe X-ray Shock Breakout
Jillian C. Rastinejad, Gokul Srinivasaragavan, Nikhil Sarin +36
The paper reports multi-wavelength observations of the nearby fast X‑ray transient EP260321a, identified as the shock‑breakout of a broad‑line Type Ic supernova (SN2026gzf), and us…
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…
