Extended Data Fig. 5: Posterior probability densities of the best-fit parameters when fitting individual PIONIER epochs.

From: Microlensing mass measurement from images of rotating gravitational arcs

Extended Data Fig. 5

The figure displays the posterior distributions of model parameters α1 (direction of the line joining the center of the images with respect to the East-West axis), θE (angular Einstein ring radius, in mas) and η1 = ρ/u1 (ratio between the angular radius of the source and its distance from the microlens). Panel a corresponds to 12 July, panel b to 19 July and panel c to 21 July. The median values of the best-fit parameters are shown on top of the individual histograms with their 68 %-confidence intervals.
