We observed the field of the IceCube 250406.951 (goldtrack) event with the DDOTI/OAN wide-field imager at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra of San Pedro Martir (http://ddoti.astroscu.unam.mx) on the night of 2025-04-07 UTC.
DDOTI observed the IceCube error region from 03:12 UTC to 03:40 UTC (from T+4.4 h to T+4.8 h after the trigger) with a total exposure of 24 minutes.
Comparing our observations to the USNO-B1 and PanSTARRS PS1 DR2 catalogues and after performed image subtraction against PanSTARRS PS1 DR2, we detect no evident uncatalogued sources within the observed field to a 5-sigma limiting AB magnitude of
w > 19.7
This value is not corrected for the Galactic extinction.
We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra of San Pedro Mártir.
