Pseudo-bolometric (just the g, c, V, r, o, I bands) light curve of AT 2025abao, in black; and UV+Optical+NIR (UVW2 to K bands) bolometric curve of the main outburst, in red. The separation is made at phase −3.5 d, when our multi-band photometric follow-up campaign started (after this phase, the gcVroI pseudo-bolometric is shown as a dashed line). While the bolometric luminosity of AT 2025abao was similar to those of the comparison objects at the time of the g-band maximum, the subsequent evolution is different.
