TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44110 SUBJECT: EP260321a: J-band observations by the SYSU 80 cm infrared telescope DATE: 26/03/25 09:38:42 GMT FROM: Rui-Chen Gao <ayxzxn0100@gmail.com> Rui-Chen Gao, Chun Chen, Duo-Le Cao, Zhong-Nan Dong, Wei-Sen Huang, Jin-Ji Li, Jia-Qi Lin, Pu Lin, Yun Shi, Hao-Nan Yang, Yan Yu, P H Thomas Tam, Rong-Feng Shen, Bin Ma (Sun Yat-sen University) report on behalf of the SYSU 80cm infrared telescope team: We observed the field of the fast X-ray transient EP260321a(Huang et. al, GCN 44068), using the Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) 80 cm infrared telescope. Our observations were carried out on 2026 Mar 24 18:57 UT, 78.4 hours after the trigger, using stacked images in the J band. We clearly detect the source at the position of the optical counterpart (Lee et al., GCN 44070; Tanvir et al., GCN 44082; Moran et al., GCN 44083, Ahumada et al., GCN 44084, Liu et al., GCN 44087, de Ugarte Postigo et al., GCN 44091, Xu et al., GCN 44092, Pankov et al. GCN 44103, Corcoran et al., GCN 44105, Rastinejad et al., GCN 44107), and we measure J = 17.489 +/- 0.232 Vega mag. The photometry was calibrated against nearby stars from the 2MASS catalog and is reported in the Vega system, without correction for Galactic extinction. Further observations are ongoing. The SYSU 80 cm infrared telescope is operated and managed by the Department of Astronomy, Sun Yat-sen University.
