Table 4: Parameters from the Monte Carlo simulation for the M 82 slope.
Apparent Probability if Probability if
slope power law (power = -3) half-Gaussian
3.1* 96/1000 = 9.6% 42/1000 = 4.2%
3.4 43/1000 = 4.3% 11/1000 = 1.1%
Note: * This is the slope obtained after removing the highest
$\log{\Sigma}$ point from the M 82 ${\Sigma -D}$ diagram.
