Ling (NAO, CAS) on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team: \n \nThe EP-WXT trigger 01709270148 at the time of 2026-06-16T14:22:03, is likely a stellar flare associated with LP 820-19. The estimated flux of the flare is around 1.2 x 10 ^(-10) erg/s/cm^2 in 0.5-4.0 keV, corresponding to an X-ray luminosity of around 8.6 x 10^(30) 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).",
