Extended Data Table 3 Partial Spearman rank-order correlation tests

From: Observations of a Magellanic Corona

  1. Tests of the relation between ion column density and LMC impact parameter, after removing the effects of absolute Magellanic Stream latitude (\({r}_{N{\rho }_{{\rm{LMC}};\left|{B}_{{\rm{MS}}}\right|}}\)) and between ion column density and absolute Magellanic Stream latitude, after removing the effects of the LMC impact parameter (\({r}_{N\left|{B}_{{\rm{MS}}}\right|;{\rho }_{{\rm{LMC}}}}\)). P-values for each partial test are shown in boldface if they are greater than the 0.05 threshold, not allowing the null hypothesis of no correlation to be rejected.
