Light curves for the 12 candidates (ten stars) in § 3.2. For each object, the upper and lower panels show blue and red passbands. Flux is in linear units with 1 σ estimated errors, normalized to the fitted unlensed brightness. For clarity, the points shown are averages in time bins roughly matched to the event timescales, as indicated on each panel. For events 1a, 6, and 8, the wavy lines indicate that different templates were used before and after day 330; thus a separate baseline normalization has been used for each portion; see § 2.
