Watson (UNAM) report:
We imaged the field of the EP260605a (Li et al., GCN Circ. 44847) using the DDRAGO two-channel wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. We observed from 2026-06-06 07:27 to 08:05 UTC (from 21.93 to 22.59 hours after the trigger) and obtained 29 minutes of simultaneous exposure in the r and z filters.
Given the proximity of the localization region to the Galactic bulge, we obtained additional observations to serve as templates. The field was reimaged on 2026-06-12 from 07:06 to 08:06 UTC (from 6.90 to 6.94 days after the trigger), yielding 42 minutes of simultaneous exposure in the r and z filters.
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 image subtraction, we do not detect any new source within the FXT error region (Li et al., GCN Circ. 44867) down to the following 5-sigma limit:
r > 21.4
z > 20.6

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.
