Extended Data Table 1 Comparison between the different models of free precession, including the effects of twisted magnetic fields

From: A freely precessing magnetar following an X-ray outburst

  1. The acronyms RE, WAD and FCCC refer to the models of relaxing ellipticity, phenomenological wobble angle decay and frictional crust-core coupling. The two least likely models (RE and WAD) were not run with the twisted RVM hence the missing values.
