TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40628 SUBJECT: The EP-WXT trigger 01709177837 is likely a flaring star DATE: 25/06/05 09:41:18 GMT FROM: EP Team at NAOC/CAS ep_ta@bao.ac.cn
S. Q. Jiang (NAOC), T. C. Zheng (PMO), X. Y. Zhou (PRIC), H. W. Pan (NAOC) on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team: The EP-WXT trigger 01709177837 at the time of 2025-06-05T09:24:19, is likely a stellar flare associated with RV Crt. The estimated flux of the flare is around 8e-11 erg/s/cm^2 in 0.5-4.0 keV, corresponding to an X-ray luminosity of around 4e32 erg/s. Launched on January 9, 2024, EP is a space X-ray observatory to monitor the soft X-ray sky with X-ray follow-up capability (Yuan et al. 2022, Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray Astrophysics).
