Residual phase curves, converted to flux space, for Chiron after subtracting off the quiescent 2015–2019 phase-curve flux (M. M. Dobson et al. 2024) for (top) the color-shifted ATLAS o-band data and (bottom) the color-shifted ATLAS c-band data. Each panel represents a new observing season of data, with the 2020 phase curve included as a baseline for quiescent activity.
