We observed the field of EP250225a (Jiang et al., GCN 39475) using the 0.7-m telescope of the Thai Robotic Telescope network (TRT), located at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, Chile. Observations started at 02:45:51 UTC on 2025-02-26, 6 x 300 s and 5 x 300s frames were obtained in Sloan-r and Sloan-z band, respectively.
No new optical source is detected in the stacked images within or beside the ~ 2.8 arc min EP/WXT error circle (Jiang et al., GCN 39475), consistent with the non-detection (Li et al., GCN 39477; Lipunov et al., GCN 39478), down to a 5-sigma limiting magnitude of r ~ 21.8 and z ~ 19.5, calibrated with Pan-STARRS sources in the field and not corrected for Galactic extinction.
