Caption: Figure 3.

Top panel: phase-folded light curve, after correcting for long-term trends, binned in 5 minute intervals (black points), along with the best-fit full phase curve model from our joint analysis (red line). Middle panel: same as top panel but with an expanded vertical axis to detail the fitted phase curve modulation and secondary eclipse signal. The contributions to the phase curve from ellipsoidal (B2), atmospheric brightness (B1), and beaming (A1) modulations are plotted individually with black solid, dot-dashed, and dotted lines. Bottom panel: plot of the corresponding residuals from the best-fit model.
