Watson (UNAM) report:
We imaged the field of the EP260728a (Yang et al., GCN Circ. 45248) using the DDRAGO two-channel wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. 2026-07-30T05:58:16 to 2026-07-30T07:24:22 UTC (from 37.2 to 38.6 hours after the trigger) and obtained 64 minutes of exposure in the z filters.
The data were reduced, coadded and analysed with the COLIBRÍ pipeline. The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the SkyMapper DR4 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 FXT source position (Yang
et al., GCN Circ. 42250) down to the following 3-sigma limit:
z > 21.5
