Notes. A: determined from linear regression of timing data listed in Table 4; B: determined from our global joint analysis of the seven-band transit light curves (for detail, see Table 3); C: determined from our analysis of the K- or i′-band occultation light curves; D: derived from the PDF of group B or C using theoretical formulae; E: derived from the evolutionary tracks analysis using PDF from group B; F: derived from the PDF of group B and E using theoretical formulae; G: both are fixed as 0 in our analysis of transit light curves.
