TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 45087 SUBJECT: The EP-WXT trigger 01709274014: KAIT confirmation of a stellar flare DATE: 26/07/06 14:39:25 GMT FROM: Weikang Zheng at UC Berkeley <weikang@berkeley.edu> WeiKang Zheng (UCB), Xuhui Han (NAOC), Pinpin Zhang (NAOC) and Alexei V. Filippenko (UCB) report on behalf of the KAIT GRB team: The 0.76-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT), located at Lick Observatory, automatically responded to the EP-WXT trigger 01709274014 (Jiang et al. GCN 45086) starting at 09:52 UT, about 8 minutes after the trigger. A set of B, V, R, I and clear (roughly R) filter images were obtained and lasted for ~1.2 hours. We performed the photometry on the suggested flare star HD 183870B and see its brightness decreased in all bands, especially in B band decayed from ~13.6 mag to ~14.8 mag in about 1.2 hours, thus confirming the EP X-ray trigger is related to the stellar flare.
