Caption: Figure 8.

Distance-corrected light curves for (2060) Chiron color-shifted to (top) ATLAS o band and (bottom) ATLAS c band. The different datasets are denoted via differing colors. The solid black curve running over each observing season in each dataset is a third-order polynomial spline fit. Overplotted in dashed–dotted navy lines in both plots is the date of contemporaneous JWST observations on 2023 July 12 (N. Pinilla-Alonso et al. 2024) and 2024 January 9 (I. Wong et al. 2026) for reference.
