Discovery of a new kind of explosive X-ray transient near M86

We present the discovery of a new type of explosive X-ray flash in Chandra images of the old elliptical galaxy M86. This unique event is characterized by the peak luminosity of 6 × 1042 erg s−1 for the distance of M86, the presence of precursor events, the timescale between the precursors and the ma...
