A. Bochenek and D. A. Perley (LJMU) report:
We observed the field of the fast X-ray transient EP250101a (Liang et al., GCN 38778) using the IO:O optical camera on the 2m robotic Liverpool Telescope. We obtained 6x200s exposures in the SDSS i’ filter starting at 2025-01-02 22:39:43 UT, approximately 1.7 days after the trigger. Four of the images had to be discarded due to autoguider issues.
We do not detect any new sources in the EP/WXT confidence region (Liang et al., GCN 38778). The 3-sigma limiting magnitude on the stacked images is i > 21.6 mag, calculated using the nearby PanSTARRS secondary standards as reference. The photometry was not corrected for extinction.
