AT2024eju: followup observations with Liverpool Telescope suggest a fading transient
Abstract
We report follow-up photometry of AT2024eju, the possible optical counterpart (Srivastav et al., GCN 35932) of the fast X-ray transient EP240315a (Zhang et al., GCN 35931). The images were obtained with the 2m Liverpool Telescope in g, r and i bands starting on MJD 60385.848, 1.01 days following the discovery of the X-ray transient. The transient was not detected in any of the 3 bands with the following upper limits: MJD Filter Limit (AB mag) 60385.848 g >19.55 60385.851 r >19.72 60385.853 i >20.02 This suggests that AT2024eju has likely faded since the ATLAS detection ~1 day ago, further follow-up observations are encouraged.
