Caption: Figure 9.
Same as Figure 8, but showing the simulated rise time–Δmz slice of the phase space. In this slice, there is much more confusion between the kilonovae and contaminant populations. With the exception of SNe Ia, there is significant overlap between kilonovae and the contaminant populations. This is the result of considering rapidly evolving sources for our contaminants, and it highlights the importance of color information in the selection of kilonovae candidates.
