We imaged the field of the EP260526.405 (ID=06800001478) using the DDRAGO two-channel wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. We observed from 2026-05-27 05:30 to 06:06 UTC (from 19.79 to 20.39 hours after the trigger, beginning 32 seconds after the notice was received) and obtained 29 minutes of simultaneous exposure in the r/z filters.
The data were reduced and coadded with the ASU COLIBRÍ 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 this case with a relatively high value of A_v = 1.1 mag, according to Schlafly et al. 2011).
In the stacked image, we do not detect any new source at the WXT source position down to the following 5-sigma limit:
r > 22.5
z > 21.6

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.
