- Author contribution statement
- This paper relies on high-speed, three-colour optical photometry obtained with the ULTRACAM instrument mounted on the 4.2m WHT telescope. Dhillon was responsible for the acquisition and reduction of the ULTRACAM data presented in this paper, and also contributed to the preparation of the manuscript. More fundamentally, this paper would not have been possible without the unique capabilities of ULTRACAM, of which Dhillon is the Principal Investigator. The instrument concept was his idea, and he secured the funding for its construction. Dhillon led the team that designed, built and commissioned ULTRACAM.
