Caption: Figure 16.
Same as Figure 14 but showing the decline time–color slice of the phase space. The kilonovae are not always clearly separated from the contaminant population due to the imprecise color measurements. However, contaminants (with the exception of the miscellaneous fast transients) do stand out from kilonovae on the basis of their long decline times (≳6 days, the maximal length given our search duration).
