Zhang (NAOC) on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team:\n\nThe EP-WXT trigger 01709321980 at the time of 2026-10-30T05:23:34, is likely a stellar flare associated with ATO J336.9854+01.6911. The estimated flux of the flare is around 8e-11 erg/s/cm^2 in 0.5-4.0 keV, corresponding to an X-ray luminosity of around 3.6e31 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).",
