We imaged the field of the EP260409a (Jiang et al., GCN Circ. 44240) using the DDRAGO two-channel wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. We observed from 2026-04-09 02:56 to 03:41 (from 2.6 to 3.4 hours after the trigger) and obtained 34 min of simultaneous exposure in the r and z filters.
The data were reduced and coadded with the ASU pipeline. The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS DR1 catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction.
In the stacked image, we do not detect any new source at the FXT source position down to the following 5-sigma limit:
r > 23.14,
z > 21.84.
We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional at Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, as well as the technical and engineering teams at CEA, CPPM, IRAP, LAM, OHP, OSU Pytheas, and UNAM.
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.
