TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44282 SUBJECT: The EP-WXT trigger 01709260010 is likely a flaring star DATE: 26/04/13 07:07:31 GMT FROM: EP Team at NAOC/CAS <ep_ta@bao.ac.cn> D. F. Hu (PMO, CAS), X. Tian (GXU), H. N. Yang, H. Sun (NAOC, CAS) on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team: The EP-WXT trigger 01709260010 at the time of 2026-04-13T04:55:40, is likely a stellar flare associated with UPM J1133-1531. The estimated flux of the flare is around 2.8 x 10^(-10) erg/s/cm^2 in 0.5-4.0 keV, corresponding to an X-ray luminosity of around 2.8 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).
