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…

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…

JWST and HST observations of the host galaxy and supernova, SN 2024aihh in EP240801a at z=1.67

Agnes P. C. van Hoof, Andrew J. Levan, Peter G. Jonker +15

We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the counterpart of EP240801a, at z=1.67, the first fast X-ray transient (FXT) identifi…

Unveiling the nature of the Einstein Probe transient EP 241021a

J. Quirola-Vásquez, P. G. Jonker, A. J. Levan +23

We present a multi-wavelength analysis of the fast X-ray transient EP 241021a, discovered by the Wide-field X-ray Telescope aboard the \emph{Einstein Probe} satellite on 2024 Octob…

EP250207b is not a collapsar fast X-ray transient. Is it due to a compact object merger?

P. G. Jonker, A. J. Levan, Xing Liu +41

Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) are short-lived extra-galactic X-ray sources. Recent progress through multi-wavelength follow-up of Einstein Probe discovered FXTs has shown that sever…

The kangaroo's first hop: the early fast cooling phase of EP250108a/SN 2025kg

Rob A. J. Eyles-Ferris, Peter G. Jonker, Andrew J. Levan +52

Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are a rare and poorly understood population of events. Previously difficult to detect in real time, the launch of the Einstein Probe with its wide fiel…
