S. Yaqup, J.Z. Liu, A. Iskandar, Y. Zhang, A. Esamdin, C.H. Bai, T.H. Zhong (XAO) report on behalf of optical group of the XAO:
We observed the field of the EP250404a (Einstein Probe mission, Trigger ID 01709133918) with the 0.43m telescope at Nanshan Station of Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO). The observations were started at 2025-04-04T14:54:21(UTC), and obtained a series of gri band images.
The optical afterglow (Jiang et al., GCN 40052; Perez-Garcia et al., GCN 40053; Du et al., GCN 40058;
