We observed the field of the EP250404a (Einstein Probe mission, Trigger ID 01709133918) with the 0.43m telescope at Nanshan Station of Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO). The observations were started at 2025-04-04T14:54:21(UTC), and obtained a series of gri band images.
The optical afterglow (Jiang et al., GCN 40052; Perez-Garcia et al., GCN 40053; Du et al., GCN 40058; Zhu et al., GCN 40061; Konno et al., GCN 40063; Odeh et al, GCN 40064; He et al., GCN 40069; Perez-Fournon et al., GCN 40071; Jelinek et al., GCN 40072; Rakotondrainibe et al, GCN 40073; Taguchi et al., GCN 40074; Ruocco et al., GCN 40076; Martin-Carrillo et al., GCN 40080; Pavoni et al., GCN 40083; Li et al., GCN 40084; Yin et al., GCN 40085; Pankov et al., GCN 40086; Chu Chen et al., GCN 40088 and Chen et al., GCN 40089) was clearly detected at position R.A. = 125.0606 deg, DEC = 35.5282 deg J2000.
