Extended Data Fig. 5: Constraints on mass and initial entropy for b Cen (AB)b.
From: A wide-orbit giant planet in the high-mass b Centauri binary system
Posterior probability distribution for the mass and initial entropy of b Cen (AB)b based on its brightness and age. The BEX-Cond models are used in this MCMC exploration, but the results are not very sensitive to the choice of the atmospheric model since the bolometric luminosity (and not a magnitude) is used. The red dotted (blue dashed) lines show for reference the approximate minimum and maximum of the hot-start (cold-start) planets in the Bern population synthesis81. A subset of the models is shown for plotting purposes.
