Top: raw STIS/E230M white-light curve for KELT-9b for Visit 1 (left) and Visit 2 (right) with the fitted systematics model. Middle: systematics-subtracted light curve, fitted to the detrended data. Bottom: residuals between the detrended data and the transit model. For the first visit, we find a standard deviation of about 0.98% of the data, while for the second visit, we find residual scatter of about 0.38%.
