The Einstein Probe (EP) is designed to detect mainly high-energy transients and variables, at unprecedented sensitivity and spatial resolution in the soft X-ray band, and to perform quick and deep follow-up observations in X-rays. EP is an international collaborative mission led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with partners of ESA, MPE and CNES. EP was launched on January 9, 2024. EP had...
The Son Of X-Shooter (SOXS) is a wide-band (350-2000 nm), medium-resolution (R~4,500), single object spectrograph to be mounted at the 4m NTT-ESO telescope in La Silla. The 180n/yr (for 5 years) of the SOXS Consortium guaranteed time will be dedicated to the study of transients from the ongoing and upcoming imaging surveys and space missions. Thanks to its continuous availability and to the...
