JWST unveils a dust-obscured supernova associated with a gamma-ray burst
B. Schneider, A. J. Levan, N. Sarin +22
Recent observations have challenged the duration-based classification of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), making the detection of an associated supernova (SN) or kilonova crucial for concl…
GRB 220706A: a gamma-ray burst with a month-long engine and a luminous supernova
Benjamin P. Gompertz, Nusrin Habeeb, Dheeraj R. Pasham +30
While the progenitors of many long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are well established as the core collapse of very massive, envelope-stripped, rapidly-rotating stars, it has been suggest…
Gas absorption of soft X-rays strongly impacts the redshift distribution of dark Fast X-ray Transients
Javier Sánchez-Sierras, Peter G. Jonker, Jonathan Quirola-Vásquez +25
The progenitors of many Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) and those of -ray bursts (GRBs) are strongly linked. Given that "dark" GRBs are typically found to be events suffering from…
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 +24
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…
Gamma-ray burst progenitors revisited
Andrew J. Levan, Jillian C. Rastinejad, Helena-Margaret S. Grabham +11
Recently, several long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) associated with kilonovae have cast doubt on the traditional, dichotomous mapping between gamma-ray duration and progenitor…
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…
First Gamma-Ray Burst Observations with SVOM
F. Daigne, D. Turpin, J. -L. Atteia +34
Following its launch on 22 June 2024, the Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) successfully completed its flight acceptance, commissioning, and scien…
Probing a new subclass of llGRB-SN transients: Insights from EP250304a and its associated supernova
L. Cotter, A. Martin-Carrillo, R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris +62
With the advent of the Einstein Probe (EP) mission, we are entering a new era in the study of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), enabling the detection of faint, low-luminosity transients th…
GRB 260310A / SN 2026fgk: A Multi-Wavelength Study of a Nearby Underluminous Long GRB and SN with a Complex Afterglow
Ramandeep Gill, Rosa L. Becerra, Antonio de Ugarte Postigo +54
We present a comprehensive multi-wavelength study of GRB 260310A / SN 2026fgk, a nearby (), long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) with an exceptionally underluminous prompt…
Multi-wavelength study of EP250416a / GRB 250416C: An Optically Dark Long GRB with a Late Jet Break
Guoying Zhao, Duo-Le Cao, Rong-Feng Shen +29
We present multi-wavelength study of the /X-ray transient EP250416a (also designated GRB 250416C), triggered by the Einstein Probe (EP) Wide-field X-ray Telescope and also by SV…

We present detailed, multi-wavelength analysis of GRB 210704A: a Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor discovered and Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) detected gamma-ray burst (GRB). The b…
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.…
XRF 241001A/SN 2024aiiq: A faint soft X-ray transient detected by SVOM with a broad-line type Ic supernova revealed by JWST
B. Schneider, M. Brunet, B. P. Gompertz +61
X-ray flashes (XRFs) are a type of gamma-ray burst (GRB) with prompt emission predominantly below 30 keV and have been poorly detected by previous missions. The advent of the SVOM…
An energetic dirty fireball detected in soft X-rays
C. -Y. Dai, J. Quirola-Vásquez, Y. -H. Wang +76
The collapse of massive stars drives explosions that power relativistic fireballs. If only a small amount of matter is entrained, such clean fireballs can expand with Lorentz facto…
