Comparison of the X-ray properties of EP 260321a from the GCNs (Q. J. Huang et al. 2026a) against the X-ray light curves of other SESNe (P. A. Evans et al. 2007, 2009; A. Y. Q. Ho et al. 2020; H. Sun et al. 2025; G. P. Srinivasaragavan et al. 2025a, 2025b). With the exception of SBO XRF 080109, EP 260321a is the least luminous FXT, peaking several orders of magnitude below FXTs associated with on-axis relativistic jets.
