Filter selection and observation sequence for the β Pic b monitoring campaign. Top: transmission functions of the F210M (blue) and F410M (orange) filters overlaid on the probed atmospheric pressure of β Pic b (black). The probed pressure curve is derived assuming a Teff = 1700 K cloudy Exo-Rem model (B. Charnay et al. 2018). Both filters probe the K- and L-band continuum at similar photospheric pressure levels. Bottom: observation sequence comprising two telescope rolls of 7.15 hr each, separated by a 1.87 hr gap, with simultaneous F210M (blue) and F410M (red) exposures.
