We observed the field of the EP260223a (Liu et al., GCN Circ. 43817) using the DDRAGO two-channel wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. We observed from 2026-02-24 04:07 to 05:22 UTC (from 16.79 to 18.03 hours after the trigger and 17 minutes after the GCN Circular) and obtained 57 minutes of simultaneous exposure in the r and z filters.
The data were reduced, coadded, calibrated, and analysed with the COLIBRÍ ASU pipeline. The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the Pan-STARRS-DR2 catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction. We used STDWeb (Karpov 2025) to perform image subtraction against Legacy Survey DR10 templates (Dey et al. 2019).
We do not detect any new source in the WXT uncertainty region (Liu et al., GCN Circ. 43817) down to the following 5-sigma limits:
r > 23.7
z > 22.9
We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir and the COLIBRÍ and DDRAGO engineering teams.
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.
