We imaged the field of the EP250526a (Li et al., GCN Circ. 40550) using the DDRAGO wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. We observed from 2025-05-27 03:30 to 5:35 UTC (from 8.0 to 10.1 hours after the trigger and 58 minutes after the notice) and obtained 32 minutes of exposure in g, r and i filters (each one).
The data were reduced and coadded with the COLIBRÍ pipeline and analysed with STDWeb/STDPipe (Karpov 2025). The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the SkyMapper catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction.
In the stacked images, we do not detect any new source at the FXT position (Li et al., GCN Circ. 40550) down to the following 3-sigma limit:
g > 23.6
r > 23.4
i > 23.0

COLIBRÍ is an astronomical observatory developed and operated jointly by France (AMU, CNES and CNRS) and Mexico (UNAM and SECIHTI). It is located at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, Baja California, Mexico.
