Extended Data Fig. 3: Corner plot representing the posterior distribution of the internal structure model parameters with the MOI constraint and effective density for the flat crust-mantle interface.

Extended Data Fig. 3

5–95% quantile intervals are given for layer thicknesses (\({h}_{i}\)) and densities (\({\rho }_{i}\)). The indices 1, 2 and 3 refer to the crust, mantle, and core, respectively. The inset figure in the upper right shows the probability density distribution of the density as a function of radius. Different shades correspond to probability intervals stated in the legend. The probability density was computed by stacking the three-layer model density profiles from the converged Markov chain.
