Mock observation parameters, including the a* from our fits.
| Observation parameters | Spin estimation | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| test | ΔPA[°] | r[M] | P[min] | a* | 2σa* | truth |
| 1 | 140 ± 5 | 9 ± 0.5 | 90 ± 3 | −0.16 | [ − 0.48, 0.16] | −0.18 |
| 2 | 172 ± 5 | 5.5 ± 0.5 | 54 ± 3 | 0.90 | [0.67, 1] | 0.95 |
| 3 | 80 ± 5 | 4.5 ± 0.5 | 30 ± 3 | −0.71 | [ − 0.97, −0.36] | −0.78 |
Notes. The errors on the observational values are reported as 1σ Gaussian standard deviations. Note that r and P are parameters of the hot spot model, but are also directly constrained in our synthetic observations, so we resampled them during fitting with a Gaussian prior given by the measurement.
