Identification of the Optical Counterpart of the Fast X-Ray Transient EP240414a

Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are extragalactic bursts of X-rays first identified in archival X-ray data and are now routinely discovered in real time by the Einstein Probe, which is continuously surveying the night sky in the soft (0.5–4 keV) X-ray regime. In this Letter, we report the discovery of...
