The amplitude is expressed in millimag, and the phase is given in radians. The adopted reference epoch for $\phi=0.0$ corresponds to HJD~2~447~963.2564. For each combined dataset the total variance reduction of the quintu-periodic model and the root mean square (rms) of the residuals is reported.} \end{table}
