Description
The Einstein Probe (EP) is a newly launched space mission dedicated to the X-ray all-sky survey and characterization of all kinds of high-energy transients. During the first few months of in-orbit operation, EP has discovered dozens of new X-ray transients with intriguing properties. In this talk, I will present a few typical examples of TDE candidates discovered by EP since its launch, including the first case of TDE spectroscopically confirmed to be located in the outskirts of a galaxy. Its rising, peak, plateau and decay phases have all been observed, supporting it in hosting an IMBH of tens of thousands of solar masses. Then I will introduce some puzzling TDE candidates discovered by EP, which are still being monitored and under investigation. Finally, I will provide some prospects for future discoveries and joint observations of EP with other facilities on TDE sciences.
