TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40997 SUBJECT: The EP-WXT trigger 01709181580 is likely a flaring star DATE: 25/07/07 01:41:47 GMT FROM: EP Team at NAOC/CAS <ep_ta@bao.ac.cn> D. Y. Li (NAO, CAS), G. Y. Zhao (SYSU), C. Zhou, P. Y. Han (HUST) , W. D. Zhang (NAO, CAS)on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team: The EP-WXT trigger 01709181580 at the time of 2025-07-06T17:32:37, is likely a stellar flare associated with PM J17411+1504. 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 1.8 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).
