Table 2

The limits of the priors used in MCMC calculations and in hierarchical models.

Parameter Min Max Note

μ1 =  ⟨ T ⟩ 5.0 30.0 Expectation value of temperature
μ2 =  ⟨ β ⟩ 0.0 4.5 Expectation value of spectral index
I i 0.1 10.0 Intensity of a source/pixel
at a reference wavelength
(No upper limit in the MHD model)
T i 5.0 30.0 Temperature of a source/pixel
β i − 6.0 +6.0 Spectral index in modified black body tests
β i 0.0 +4.5 Spectral index in calculations with MHD
Models and Herschel observations
δ j 0.3 2.5 Factors for calibration errors

Notes.Apart from δj (see Sect. 5.1), the priors are flat. The parameters not listed in the table have flat priors without limits.
