Corner plot showing the posterior probability distributions of the best fit MRN grain size model with a power-law parametrisation of the refractive index with 1, 2, and 3σ contours. The key parameters of the MRN maximum grain size a+ and power-law slope q are shown, as are the refractive index’s real and imaginary power-law indices, nα, kα, and values at 1 keV, 1 − n1 keV, k1 keV. The dots indicate the expected refractive indices for different compositions of carbon grains (blue), metallic Fe grains (purple), Fe2SiO4 (dark blue), MgFeSiO4 (red), and MgSiO3 (orange). The equilibrium distribution found by the walkers displays a convex minima. While not imposing the Kramers-Kronig relations on the refractive indices, the best-fit n and k are close to standard physical compositions expected for ISM dust. The best-fit parameters are provided in Tables 2 and 3.
