TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 36825 SUBJECT: EP240703a: KAIT optical upper limit DATE: 24/07/05 01:45:56 GMT FROM: Weikang Zheng at UC Berkeley <weikang@berkeley.edu> WeiKang Zheng (UCB), Xuhui Han (NAOC), Pinpin Zhang (NAOC) and Alexei V. Filippenko (UCB) report on behalf of the KAIT GRB team: The 0.76-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT), located at Lick Observatory, responded to the fast X-ray transient EP240703a from the Einstein Probe (Wang et al. GCNC 36807) starting at 1.28 days after the trigger. A set of 30x60s images were obtained in the clear (roughly R) filters. Preliminary analysis do not reveal any optical counterpart candidate within the 3 arcmin radius EP-WXT error box (Wang et al. GCN 36807) neither in single image, nor in the co-add images, consistent with the reports from Aryan et al. (GCN 36819), An et al. (GCN 36820), Bochenek & Perley (GCN 36821), Fernandez-Garcia et al. (GCN 36822) and Volnova et al. (GCN 36824). The typical limiting magnitude of our single clear image is about 19.0 mag.
