Designation of the slices in a short light curve segment. Panels (a) and (b) show the time dependency of x′(t) and y′(t), respectively. The alternating color coding distinguishes individual slices and different symbols refer to different segments as indicated in panel (b). Only a small cutout from the full light curve is shown, corresponding to the shaded area in Fig. B.4. It contains 40 slices for the sample star Gaia DR3 604895948360165888.
