Support for program GO-16026 was provided by NASA through a grant from STScI, which is operated by AURA, Inc., under NASA contract NAS 5-26555. This work makes use of observations from the Las Cumbres Observatory global telescope network following the approved program 2019B-0363. Some of the data presented herein were obtained at the W. M. Keck Observatory, which is operated as a scientific partnership among the California Institute of Technology, the University of California, and NASA. The Observatory was made possible by the generous financial support of the W. M. Keck Foundation. The authors wish to recognize and acknowledge the very significant cultural role and reverence that the summit of Maunakea has always had within the indigenous Hawaiian community. We are most fortunate to have the opportunity to conduct observations from this mountain. Based in part on observations obtained at the Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) telescope, which is a joint project of the Ministerio da Ciencia, Tecnologia, Inovacoes e Comunicacoes (MCTIC) do Brasil, the U.S. National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO), the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), and Michigan State University (MSU). This work includes data obtained with the Swope Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile, as part of the Swope Time Domain Key Project (PI Piro, Co-Is Burns, Cowperthwaite, Dimitriadis, Drout, Foley, French, Holoien, Hsiao, Kilpatrick, Madore, Phillips, and Rojas-Bravo). The authors thank Swope Telescope observers Jorge Anais Vilchez, Abdo Campillay, Yilin Kong Riveros, and Natalie Ulloa for collecting data presented in this paper.
