Two-dimensional posterior probability distribution of ν_rot and i for KIC 10273246 (the colorbar decodes the probability density level). The prior on i is uniform over the plotted range, whereas the prior on ν_rot is uniform over the interval 0–2μHz with a decaying Gaussian wing for higher values of the splitting. The dot-dashed line marks the estimate of the stellar rotational period given in Sect. 4.2. Furthermore, the P_rot(i) relation (solid curve) of Creevey et al. (in preparation) is shown together with the corresponding confidence interval (dotted curves).
