Caption: Figure 3.

Distance- and phase-corrected light curves for 103P/Hartley 2 color-shifted to (top) ZTF-r band and (bottom) to ZTF-g band. Note that no phase correction is applied to the g band (see Section 3). The different datasets are denoted via differing colors and markers. The solid black curve running over each dataset is a third-order polynomial spline fit. Overplotted in a solid navy line in both plots is the date of perihelion passage, 2023 October 12, for reference.
