Notes.
In this particular case, χ2 = 0 and d.o.f. = 0 for the minimum, so χ2/d.o.f. could also be formally represented by 0/0.
The corresponding straight lines are shown in the upper panel of Fig. 1. Column 1 displays the telescope used and Col. 2 the number of visits or points on the Stokes plane. Column 3 provides the χ2/d.o.f. of the optimal linear fit. Column 4 shows the orientation angles at the minima (maxima) of Fig. 3 upper (bottom) panel. Columns 5 and 6 provide the lower and upper error bars around the orientation angle of the linear fit. As seen the three independent data-sets (CAHA, NOT and VLT) show more scattered orientations (and also larger χ2/d.o.f. values) than the ones displayed in Table 3, but they are still consistent within errors. Last table line reports the results when all the data are combined.
