Notes. Suffixes “b” and “r” indicate the passband (blue/red). “Contig. time” denotes the typical contiguous time interval per orbit duringwhich exposures were made. CCDT is the temperature of the detector. The BTr observations after JD 2 456 877 suffered from excess noise and reduced instrumental throughput and were discarded.
