Ling (NAO, CAS) on behalf of the \nEinstein Probe (EP) team: \n\nThe EP-WXT trigger 01709269893 at the time of 2026-06-16T03:28:01, is likely a stellar flare associated with UCAC3 45-262017. The estimated flux of the flare is around 8.0 x 10^(-11) erg/s/cm^2 in 0.5-4.0 keV, corresponding to an X-ray luminosity of around 1.2 x 10^(31) erg/s. \n\nLaunched on January 9, 2024, EP is a space X-ray observatory to monitor the soft X-ray sky with X-ray follow-up capability (Yuan et al. 2022, Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray Astrophysics).",
