Candidate X-ray Counterparts of Ultra-High-Energy Emission of the Galactic Microquasar V4641 Sgr Revealed by Einstein Probe
Yi-Heng Chi, Shao-Qiang Xi, Ping Zhou +20
Microquasars have emerged as promising PeVatron candidates capable of accelerating particles to PeV energies, with recent observations revealing ultra-high-energy (UHE) -ray emi…
Multiwavelength Analysis of the Einstein Probe X-ray Transient EP240305a
Ruican Ma, Ye Li, Lian Tao +32
We report multiwavelength observations of EP240305a, an uncatalogued X-ray transient detected by the Einstein Probe on March 5, 2024. The source exhibits distinct characteristics a…
A Complete X-ray View of Supernova Remnant W28 with Einstein Probe: Spatial Distribution of Parameters and Origin of the Thermal-Composite Morphology
Yi-Heng Chi, Ping Zhou, Yang Chen +6
It has been an unsolved question what leads a supernova remnant (SNR) to a thermal composite rather than a typical shell-like morphology, and what causes recombining plasma inside…
A fast powerful X-ray transient from possible tidal disruption of a white dwarf
Dongyue Li, Wenda Zhang, Jun Yang +97
Stars captured by black holes (BHs) can be torn apart by strong tidal forces, producing electromagnetic flares. To date, more than 100 tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been obse…
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 enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission -- eXTP for launch in 2030
Shuang-Nan Zhang, Andrea Santangelo, Yupeng Xu +155
In this paper we present the current status of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission, which has been fully approved for launch in 2030. eXTP is a space science mission…
EP241021a: a months-duration X-ray transient with luminous optical and radio emission
Shu Xinwen, Yang Lei, Yang Haonan +82
We present the discovery of a peculiar X-ray transient, EP241021a, by the Einstein Probe (EP) mission, and the results from multiwavelength follow-up observations. The transient wa…
Science objectives of the Einstein Probe mission
Weimin Yuan, Lixin Dai, Hua Feng +93
The Einstein Probe (EP) is an interdisciplinary mission of time-domain and X-ray astronomy. Equipped with a wide-field lobster-eye X-ray focusing imager, EP will discover cosmic X-…
Einstein Probe discovery of EP240408a: a peculiar X-ray transient with an intermediate timescale
Wenda Zhang, Weimin Yuan, Zhixing Ling +136
We report the discovery of a peculiar X-ray transient, EP240408a, by Einstein Probe (EP) and follow-up studies made with EP, Swift, NICER, GROND, ATCA and other ground-based multi-…
Insights from the Gaussian Processes Method for the FRB-associated X-ray Burst of SGR 1935+2154
Ruijing Tang, Dahai Yan, Haiyun Zhang +7
Gaussian processes method is employed to analyze the light curves of bursts detected by Insight-HXMT, NICER, and GECAM from SGR 1935+2154 between 2020 to 2022. It is found that a s…
An Insight-HXMT view of the mHz quasi-regular modulation phenomenon in the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630-47
Zi-Xu Yang, Liang Zhang, Yue Huang +97
Here we report the spectral-timing results of the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630-47 during its 2021 outburst using observations from the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope. Type-C qu…
Second Timescale Photometry of the Very Fast Nova V1674 Her with Palomar Gattini-IR
Kylie Y. Hansen, Kishalay De, Michael C. B. Ashley +15
We report second-timescale infrared photometry of the nova V1674 Her using Palomar Gattini-IR. These observations constitute the first infrared and highest temporal resolution data…
Constraining the X-ray - Infrared spectral index of second-timescale flares from SGR1935+2154 with Palomar Gattini-IR
Kishalay De, Michael C. B. Ashley, Igor Andreoni +16
The Galactic magnetar SGR1935+2154 has been reported to produce the first known example of a bright millisecond duration radio burst (FRB 200428) similar to the cosmological popula…
