Watson (UNAM) report:
We imaged the field of the EP 260626a (J.P. Chen et al., GCN Circ. 45047) using the DDRAGO two-channel wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. We observed from 2026-06-27T07:56:30 to 09:19:26 UTC (from 26.5 to 27.9 hours after the trigger) and obtained 64 minutes of simultaneous exposure in the r, z filters.
The data were reduced, coadded, and analysed with the 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 the stacked image, we do not detect any new source at the WXT source position (J.P. Chen et al., GCN Circ. 45047) down to the following 3-sigma limit:
r > 23.87
z > 23.15
This upper limit is consistent with the one reported by R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN Circ. 45048.
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.
