We observed the field of EP250321A (EP GCN 39800; MASTER-OAFA GCN 39803; Zhu et al., GCNs 39809; Swift-XRT GCN 39811) using the Sun Yat-sen University 80cm infrared telescope with 90 x 20 s exposures in J band. The calculated position is RA. = 179.2625 deg, DEC = 17.3628 deg J2000, from EP observation. Our observations began at 2025-3-22 13:25:00 UTC, 31.25 hours after the EP trigger.
We do not detect any counterpart at the position of the optical afterglow (Fu et al., GCN 39804; Perez-Garcia et al., GCNs 39805; Brivio et al., GCNs 39807; Becerra et al., GCNs 39810; Pérez-Fournon et al., GCN 39812; Lee et al., GCN 39815; Ghosh et al., GCN 39816; Han et al., GCN 39817; Jin et al., GCN 39822; Zhu et al., GCN 39827; Gill et al., GCN 39831; Zheng et. al, GCN 39832; Pankov et al., GCN 39836; Bochenek et. al, GCN 7939837; Zhu et. al, GCN 39854), down to a 5-sigma depth of J~ 17.6 Vega magnitudes.
