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…
