Photometric evolution of SN 2019odp around the discovery epoch. The light curve is given in flux units to show the pre-discovery upper limits on the same scale. The different colours denote the different bands. The zero flux level is denoted by a dashed line. The faintly overlaid light curves are light curve realisations drawn from the conditioned Gaussian process interpolation kernel (see Sect. 2.4 for a detailed description). For illustration purposes, they are drawn beyond their validity time range (turning into a extrapolation). The light curves have not been corrected for extinction. The times of spectroscopic observations are marked in the top bar by vertical lines.
