TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 39601 SUBJECT: The EP-WXT trigger 01709132323 is likely a flaring star DATE: 25/03/06 09:42:08 GMT FROM: EP Team at NAOC/CAS ep_ta@bao.ac.cn
Y.-H. I. Yin (NJU), H. Sun, X. P. Xu, C. C. Jin (NAO, CAS) report on behalf of the Einstein Probe team:
The EP-WXT trigger (ID: 01709132323) on 2025-03-06 09:04:17 (UTC) is likely a stellar flare associated with a star TYC 2497-986-1. The estimated flux of the flare is around 1.2 x 10^-10 erg/s/cm^2 in 0.5-4.0 keV, corresponding to an X-ray luminosity of around 2.3 x 10^33 erg/s.
Launched on January 9, 2024, EP is a space X-ray observatory to monitor the soft X-ray sky with onboard X-ray follow-up capability (Yuan et al. 2022, Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray Astrophysics).
