The EP team, which includes over 300 scientists — roughly three-quarters from China and the remainder from Europe — has issued over 100 alerts to the global astronomy community, prompting follow-up studies.
In addition to detecting individual events, the EP has conducted repeated sky surveys, successfully generating China's first all-sky X-ray map. Yuan said the satellite contributes data that represents over 30 percent of all information available on global platforms for the study of transient and eruptive phenomena.
The EP team annually solicits research proposals from Chinese scientists and provides data access to international researchers one year after acquisition.
