Recovered PFVG distributions (see Eq. (10)) of host-galaxy fluxes obtained for the HS (transparent colored histogram) and CS (solid colored histogram). Distributions obtained for poorly sampled light curves, with low and high S/N, are shown in panels a and b, respectively. Distributions obtained for well-sampled light curves, with low and high S/N, are shown in panels c and d, respectively. The vertical dotted line marks the true galaxy value used in the simulations (gal₀). The 68% confidence range used to estimate the 1σ uncertainty around the median is shown as transparent black boxes. (a) S/N = 10, Δt = 10 days. (b) S/N = 100, Δt = 10 days. (c) S/N = 10, Δt = 1 days. (d) S/N = 100, Δt = 1 days.
