The Einstein Probe Transient EP240414a: Linking Fast X-Ray Transients, Gamma-Ray Bursts, and Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients

Detections of fast X-ray transients (FXTs) have accrued over the last few decades. However, their origin has remained mysterious. Rapid progress is now being made thanks to timely discoveries and localizations with the Einstein Probe mission. Early results indicate that FXTs may frequently, but not...
