Redshifts of candidate host galaxies of four fast X-ray transients using VLT/MUSE

A Inkenhaag, PG Jonker, AJ Levan… - Astronomy & …, 2024 - aanda.org
Context. Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are X-ray flares that last from minutes to hours. Multi-
wavelength counterparts to these FXTs have proven hard to find. As a result, distance …

Constraints on Relativistic Jets from the Fast X-ray Transient 210423 using Prompt Radio Follow-Up Observations

D Ibrahimzade, R Margutti, JS Bright… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) are a new observational class of phenomena with no clear
physical origin. This is at least partially a consequence of limited multi-wavelength follow up …

Discovery of the optical counterpart of the fast X-ray transient EP240414a

S Srivastav, TW Chen, JH Gillanders, L Rhodes… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are extragalactic bursts of X-rays first identified in archival X-ray
data, and now routinely discovered by the Einstein Probe in real time, which is continuously …

Discovery of the optical and radio counterpart to the fast X-ray transient EP240315a

JH Gillanders, L Rhodes, S Srivastav… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) are extragalactic bursts of soft X-rays first identified> 10 years
ago. Since then, nearly 40 events have been discovered, although almost all of these have …

New JWST redshifts for the host galaxies of CDF-S XT1 and XT2: understanding their nature

J Quirola-Vásquez, FE Bauer, PG Jonker… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
CDF-S XT1 and XT2 are considered two" canonical" extragalactic fast X-ray transients
(FXTs). In this work, we report new constraints on both FXTs, based on recent JWST …

The Radio Counterpart to the Fast X-ray Transient EP240414a

JS Bright, F Carotenuto, R Fender, C Choza… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Despite being operational for only a short time, the Einstein Probe mission has already
significantly advanced the study of rapid variability in the soft X-ray sky. We report the …
