Ling (NAO, CAS) on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team: \n\nThe EP-WXT trigger 01709176612 at the time of 2025-05-22T05:56:51, is likely a stellar flare associated with a Young Stellar Object Candidate Gaia DR3 6077506855610363648. The estimated flux of the flare is around 6e-11 erg/s/cm^2 in 0.5-4 keV, corresponding to an X-ray luminosity of around 1.15e32 erg/s. \n\nLaunched on January 9, 2024, EP is a space X-ray observatory to monitor the soft X-ray sky with X-ray follow-up capability (Yuan et al. 2022, Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray Astrophysics).\n",
