In-flight calibration of the Einstein Probe WXT confirms 3-6 arcmin spatial resolution across most of the field of view, 1.3 arcmin positioning accuracy, and effective area within 10% of models in the 0.5-4 keV band, with minor low-energy degradation in a few modules.
The paper identifies supernova emission matching a scaled SN 1998bw template in the late-time light curve of EP250302a at z=1.131, with early data constraining the jet Lorentz factor above 25.
