We imaged the field of EP250321A (Hu et al., GCN Circ. 39800) with the DDRAGO wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir in Mexico.
We started observing at 2025-03-21 07:42 UTC (1.54 hours after the trigger). The data were coadded with the COLIBRÍ pipeline and analysed in STDWeb/STDPipe (Karpov 2021), with photometric calibration against Pan-STARRS DR1 and image subtraction against Pan-STARRS DR2. Our photometry is in the AB system and is not corrected for Galactic extinction.
At a mid-time T+1.9 h after the trigger, we detect the optical counterpart (Fu et al. 2025, GCN Circ. 39804; Perez-Garcia et al. 2025, GCN Circ. 9805; Brivio et al. 2025, GCN Circ. 39807; Zhu et al. 2025, GCN Circ. 39809) with AB magnitudes of:
r = 20.69 +/- 0.05
i = 19.12 +/- 0.04
Further analysis of the additional images is ongoing.
Further observations are planned.
We warmly thank the COLIBRÍ and DDRAGO engineering teams and the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir.
