TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44219 SUBJECT: The EP-WXT trigger 01709259615 is likely a flaring star DATE: 26/04/05 12:27:55 GMT FROM: EP Team at NAOC/CAS <ep_ta@bao.ac.cn> R.-Z. Li (YNAO), Y. J. Yi (BNU), H.Q. Cheng and Z.-X. Ling (NAOC) on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team: The EP-WXT trigger 01709259615 at the time of 2026-04-05T12:01:49, is likely a stellar flare associated with RX J1411.0+0751. The estimated flux of the flare is around 1e-10 erg/s/cm^2 in 0.5-4.0 keV, corresponding to an X-ray luminosity of around 1.4e31 erg/s.
