General information
EP-WXT trigger 01709258759 was followed up optically with a Las Cumbres 1m telescope about 20 minutes after the Einstein Probe WXT trigger, yielding a candidate optical counterpart within the reported X-ray error circle.
Wavelength coverage
- X-ray: Trigger reported by Einstein Probe/WXT.
- Optical: Las Cumbres 1m observations in broad w band (2×300 s), with photometry calibrated to r.
No observations were mentioned in gamma-ray, UV, IR, millimeter/sub-mm, radio, gravitational waves, or neutrinos.
Lightcurve and spectrum
- MJD 61105.08: mag 21.6 (preliminary; calibrated to r) for an uncataloged source at RA=145.9490 deg, Dec=15.6937 deg.
Redshift
What’s special vs typical
- Very rapid optical identification (20 minutes post-trigger) of an uncataloged source spatially consistent with the EP/WXT localization.
