Occultation light curve observed by WIRC (blue points). Detrending was performed with the entire light curve, but the second half of the light curve (shaded gray) was excluded when we performed the final fit to the eclipse model. The best-fitting eclipse model to the truncated light curve is shown in red. Black points show the light curve binned to 70 exposures for clarity. Error bars are not shown for the unbinned data.
