TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44842 SUBJECT: The EP-WXT trigger 01709267001 is likely a flaring star DATE: 26/06/05 12:57:39 GMT FROM: EP Team at NAOC/CAS <ep_ta@bao.ac.cn> R.-Z. Li (YNAO), X. Tian (GXU), C.-L. Guo and C.-C. Jin (NAOC) on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team: The EP-WXT trigger 01709267001 at the time of 2026-06-05T12:42:11, is likely a stellar flare associated with RX J1431.6+0047 (High Proper Motion Star). The estimated flux of the flare is around 1.8 x 10^(-10) erg/s/cm^2 in 0.5-4.0 keV, corresponding to an X-ray luminosity of around 4.8 x 10^(31) 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).
