You see a strong dip in the U band (U for UV, 365 nm plus or minus 66 nm), B band (B for blue, 445 nm \pm 94 nm) and V band (V for visible, 551 nm \pm 88 nm). But in infrared (only the J band had enough data to make it worth plotting) at 1.22 micro (plus or minus 212 nm) the light curve is really flat.&lt;p&gt;1: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;imagebin.ca&amp;#x2F;v&amp;#x2F;5DhzHxxS3Eq2&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;imagebin.ca&amp;#x2F;v&amp;#x2F;5DhzHxxS3Eq2&lt;/a&gt;
