Classification of (complex algebraic) vector bundles on punctured affine space

The Quillen-Suslin theorem asserts that there are no nontrivial vector bundles over the affine space $\mathbb{A}^{n+1}$, $n\geq 0$. Let's work over the complex numbers. What can be said about vector bundles on the punctured affine space $X_n=\mathbb{A}^{n+1}\smallsetminus\{0\}$? According to this paper, there seem to be room for nontrivial vector bundles.

Let $\mathbb{C}^{*}$ act on $X_n$ by the action $\lambda.(x_0,\dots,x_n):=(\lambda x_0,\lambda x_1,\dots, \lambda x_n)$ whose quotient is $\mathbb{P}^n$. Notice that equivariant v.b. on $X_n$ are in bijection -via pullback- with v.b. on $\mathbb{P}^n$, and the latter form already a rich moduli problem on its own. In this question we concentrate on the specificity of $X_n$

1. Is there some sort of classification of v.b. on $X_n$, taking as a starting base -say- the "classification" of stable v.b. on $\mathbb{P}^n$ given by the corresponding moduli spaces?

What about particular ranks, for example the case of line bundles?

2. Are there vector bundles on $X_n$ that are not pullbacks of v.b. on $\mathbb{P}^n$, that is, v.b. on $X_n$ that do not admit an equivariant structure?
