Caption: Figure 1.

UVOIR light curve of AT 2024wpp corrected for Galactic extinction. Offsets are applied for clarity. Pink horizontal line: pre-transient GALEX NUV emission at the location of the transient, marking the level of UV emission from the host galaxy. At ≳80 days, the Swift UV photometry is dominated by the host galaxy flux. In Section 2.1, we use the GALEX NUV observation to subtract the host galaxy contribution from the Swift m2 photometry. Magnitudes are expressed in the AB system (J. B. Oke & J. E. Gunn 1983).
