Light curve comparison between models and observations of LXT240402B at z ∼ 0.048 (optical; left) and EP250207b at z ∼ 0.082 (near-infrared; right). The thick solid line shows the light curve of AT2017gfo at the same redshift. Detections (upper limits) are shown by circles (downward triangles). The dashed line traces the afterglow model, extrapolated from X-ray energies, with its 1σ uncertainty band. X-ray data were rescaled for plotting purposes. In gray we report the ensemble of kilonova models consistent with the observational constraints.
