Rec. period (d) θ2 5.016 ± 0.010 Gaussian (5.0, 1.0)
Evol. timescale (d) θ3 257 ± 91 log Gaussian (log 250, log 2)

Notes. For each hyper parameter, we list the fitted value along with the corresponding error bar and the assumed prior. The knee of the modified Jeffreys prior is set to the median error bars of B and d T (9.4 G and 3.0 K). For the evolution timescale, θ3, the log Gaussian prior is set to 250 d (within a factor of two), following a preliminary run. The smoothing parameter, θ4, weakly constrained by the B and d T data, was fixed to the value that maximized likelihood in a previous MCMC run.
