TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44716 SUBJECT: The EP-WXT trigger 01709266147 is likely a flaring star DATE: 26/05/28 01:10:19 GMT FROM: EP Team at NAOC/CAS <ep_ta@bao.ac.cn> R.-Z. Li (YNAO, CAS), D. Zhu, K.-J. Zhang (YNU), D.-F. Hu (PMO, CAS), M.-H. Zhang and Y. Liu (NAO, CAS) on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team: The EP-WXT trigger 01709266147 at the time of 2026-05-27T19:27:35, is likely a stellar flare associated with UCAC4 262-085424 (Young Stellar Object Candidate). The estimated flux of the flare is around 1.6 x 10^(-10) erg/s/cm^2 in 0.5-4.0 keV, corresponding to an X-ray luminosity of around 3.9 x 10^(32) 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).
