Notes. The column “true values” refers to the MC input parameters, except for Tin, γ, and γ′ which are determined from the results of the MC simulation. The columns “two power-law” and “one power-law” list the best-fit parameters obtained with FRACS assuming two and one power-law for the temperature respectively. The values are respectively 0.73 and 0.79 for two and one power-law.

These values are not prescribed parameters, but are determined from the results of the Monte Carlo simulation. The values reported here are best-fit parameters of the mean disc temperature (see text for more details).
