N. Pankov (IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI), E. Klunko (ISTP), A. Volnova (IKI) report on behalf of IKI-GRB-FuN:
We observed the field of the EP260119a (Jiang et al., GCN 43447; Cheng et al., GCN 43449) at the redshift of z ~ 5.47 (Corcoran et al., GCN 43469) with the AZT-33IK 1.5-meter telescope of the Mondy observatory. We obtained 45x120 sec total exposure in the I-band, starting on 2026-01-19 at 17:18:42 UT.
The afterglow (Fortin et al., GCN 43450; GCN 43455; Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN 43452; Moskvitin & Spiridonova, GCN 43463; Liu et al., GCN 43464; Ma et al., GCN 43466; Zheng et al., GCN 43468; Corcoran et al., GCN 43469; Bochenek & Perley, GCN 43472) is clearly detected in the stacked image. The preliminary photometry and observation details are provided below:
