TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40686 SUBJECT: EP250610a: Liverpool Telescope optical upper limits DATE: 25/06/11 10:13:31 GMT FROM: Rob Eyles-Ferris at U of Leicester raje1@leicester.ac.uk
R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris, P. T. O’Brien and R. L. C. Starling (U of Leicester) report:
We observed the field of the X-ray transient EP250610a (Zhang et al., GCN 40660; Lian et al., GCN 40669) with the 2m Liverpool Telescope using the IO:O instrument. We obtained 6x150s exposures in each of the SDSS r’ and SDSS g’ filters starting at 2025-05-11 00:16:50 UT, approximately 19.9 hours after the X-ray detection.
We performed image subtraction on the stacked images using reference images from Pan-STARRS and also compared the stacked and reference images manually. In agreement with Schneider et al. (GCN 40661), Brivio et al. (GCN 40665), Yao et al. (GCN 40666) and Lipunov et al. (GCN 40673), we identify no new sources within the positional uncertainty of the X-ray source identified by Evans et al. (GCN 40662) and Lian et al. (GCN 40669).
At the position of the X-ray source, we derive 3-sigma upper limits of r’ > 22.1 and g’ > 22.1 with photometry calibrated to Pan-STARRS and not corrected for Galactic extinction.
